This comprehensive tome covers all aspects of Picasso's artistic
career, from self- portraits to sculpture to photography, and features
an extensive chronology.
The Musée Picasso Paris houses the most impressive collection of
Picasso's works ever assembled. Structured chronologically, this
compendious volume spans the artist's career, tracing the evolution of
his art through ten phases, from the Blue Period (1901-04) to the
portrait of The Young Painter (1972), which he finished in his
penultimate year. Primarily devoted to Picasso's paintings, the book
also explores his work in sculpture, ceramic, photography, drawing, and
etching.
Featuring 360 specially commissioned photographs of Picasso's greatest
works, the history of the 4,500-room museum, critical analysis by the
museum's experts, an extensive biography of Picasso's life, and
photographs of the artist, this compact edition, previously published as
Picasso's Masterpieces, is an essential resource. This chunky
paperback edition is beautifully produced and features a debossed
reproduction of Picasso's Bull's Head, a vertical band, and a
tuxedo-strip detail along the page trim. Covers in three color
variations--turquoise, red, or yellow--are shipped at random.
