Cubism and its legacy

"Gustav Kahnweiler was the younger brother of the famous Paris-based dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, who showed the works of Picasso and Braque in the early years of their development of cubism. In the inter-war years Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler remained closely associated with not only Picasso and Braque but also other major artists of the period including Leger, Laurens, Miro and Masson." "Together with his wife Elly, Gustav had close personal relationships with a number of artists of the period. He acquired many works from his brother's gallery and built up an important collection of modern masters." "Celebrating the gift of these works to Tate, this publication explores the formation of the Kahnweiler collection and provides full-colour reproductions of fifty-six works by these major twentieth-century artists."--BOOK JACKET.
