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":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57192984347006,"sku":"NW9781633451728","price":12.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781633451728.jpg?v=1778547401","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/pablo-picasso-boy-leading-a-horse","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
