John Golding

John Golding was a British artist, art scholar, and curator, perhaps best known for his seminal text Cubism: A History and an Analysis, 1907-1914, first published in 1959 and later revised in several subsequent editions.

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. As a curator "he made his public mark with another Picasso scholar, Elizabeth Cowling, by curating two groundbreaking exhibitions at the Tate Gallery in London: 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."
