Joseph Csaky : A Pioneer of Modern Sculpture, Hardcover by Balas, Edith (EDT), ISBN 0871692309, ISBN-13 9780871692306, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Joseph Csaky (1), a neglected pioneer of early Modernism, was a native of Hungary who became a dedicated member of the Parisian avant-garde. He took part in the 1912 Section d’Or Exhibition, considered by many to mark the high point of the Cubist movement. He was an intimate friend of such innovative giants as Picasso, Braque, & Lager. One of the first artists to apply Cubist principles to sculpture, Csaky produced a substantial body of work comparable in quality to that of Brancusi & Archipenko; yet he spent the last 30 years of his life in obscurity & was virtually destitute at his death. This ground breaking study includes a detailed discussion of his career, over 100 illus. of his major sculpture, & a translation of the artist’s autobio. that provides a wealth of new info. about the early Parisian avant-garde.
