About The Book (Le Livre)
Juan Gris had come to Cubism late, in comparison with others within the movement. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque had been embarked since late 1908 on that shared adventure of elaborating, first 'analytic', and then 'synthetic', Cubism in a six-year partnership of almost daily contact and discussion of each other's latest pictures, a partnership that Braque later described as being 'like two climbers roped together on a mountain' (Picasso more mordantly and pithily recalled that 'Braque was my wife) and that was ended by the outbreak of war in August 1914. Somewhat later than this adventure of 'gallery' Cubism (both artists belonged to the stable of the innovative new dealer Kahnweiler), 'salon' Cubism was launched in Paris in April 1911, when Fernand Léger, Robert Delaunay, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes and Henri Le Fauconnier had grouped together their epic paintings of scenes of modern life in room 41 at the Salon des Indépendants, to much critical derision and some acclaim.
