He was emerging from his \"Blue Period\" and his \"Rose Period,\" but not yet at work on the groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eDemoiselles d?Avignon\u003c\/i\u003e (1907). Through vigorous brushstrokes and a stark palette of gray and ochre, Picasso invokes an impressive set of past and present artworks in his rendering of the two figures in \u003ci\u003eBoy Leading a Horse\u003c\/i\u003e. The scene is detached from time and place, and the striding boy and his horse project a steely firmness of mind, body and purpose?yet the purpose is unknown. In this volume of the One on One series, Annemarie Iker offers a close examination of this composition, produced during a phase of private introspection and art historical investigation at the start of the 20th century. This is the second volume of the series to be dedicated to a work by Picasso in MoMA''s collection, and illustrates a transitional moment in his oeuvre as fascinating as his more defined eras.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138328232279,"sku":"9781633451728","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781633451728.jpg?v=1751918938","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pablo-picasso-boy-leading-a-horse-9781633451728","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
