John Golding CBE (10 September 1929 – 9 April 2012)[1] was a British artist, art scholar, and curator, perhaps best known for his seminal text Cubism: A History and an Analysis, 1907–1914,[2] first published in 1959 and later revised in several subsequent editions.[3]
He taught "Art of the Modern Period" at the Courtauld Institute of Art from 1959 to 1981 and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1994.[4] As a curator "he made his public mark with another Picasso scholar, Elizabeth Cowling, by curating two groundbreaking Tate [Gallery in London] exhibitions: Picasso: Sculptor/Painter, in 1994, and Matisse/Picasso, in 2002-03, which also travelled to the Grand Palais in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York."[1]
