Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the relevance of Cubism for Clement Greenberg's vision of Modernism, based on the analysis of essays and critical texts published by him over more than three decades in which the unity of the pictorial surface – understood by the critic as one of the essential features of modern painting, besides its flatness – is identified with the cubist plastic thinking.
