Much more than a case study or monograph, Leonce Rosenberg's Cubism shows how Rosenberg advocated for and developed a heterogeneous or 'cosmopolitan modernism.' In doing so, Casini rewrites the standard account of Cubism between the wars as a nationalistically inspired 'return to order' centered on the Parisian avant-garde. -Emily Braun, Distinguished Professor, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY Under the auspices of his Galerie L'Effort Moderne, gallerist Leonce Rosenberg sought to chart a course for avant-garde art in Paris after World War I. Giovanni Casini offers us the first full-scale critical account of Rosenberg as businessman, patron, publisher, and collector. This book significantly adds to our understanding of the culture of both Cubism and abstract art in the 1920s. -Matthew Affron, Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art
