     Annotated Bibliography
Cubism – Picasso and Braque
    For my annotated bibliography I chose to research the time frame of the Cubism period
       and the influences from the prior art movement.  Cubism directly followed the Post-
   Impressionism movement. I am curious to find what impact this had on the creativity and
                                     thought process for Picasso and Braque.

Books:
Cottington, David. Cubism and its histories. Manchester: Manchester University Press,

     Recent up-to-date resource, excellent in research. Extensive detail in the history
of the style and the movement of cubism. Lots of illustrations in black and  white, and
a few in color.

         Book (March):7-9.
     
     An article about three different books with three different perspectives on cubism.
A lot of emphasis on whether or not Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, is con-
sidered the first cubism painting. Gives a basic idea which resource will better assist
in research.
