Max Weber and American Cubism

Max Weber, 2023

Overview

Cubism, a foundational style of modernism, found a significant presence in New York through the work of Max Weber. Having studied under Matisse and associated with avant-garde figures like Apollinaire and Picasso, Weber brought firsthand knowledge of the Parisian art scene to Alfred Stieglitz’s circle in New York. His influence inspired a generation of American artists. This volume offers a comprehensive survey of American Cubism, focusing on Weber’s key cubist works and contextualizing them within the broader movement. It includes analyses of works by other prominent artists such as Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, and Charles Sheeler, filling a crucial gap in the study of 20th-century art.
