Description
As one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso＊s (1881每1973) artistic achievements are unparalleled. This important new introductory monograph, released to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the artist＊s death, presents the beauty, power, and multiplicity of Picasso＊s work across his paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, and offers fresh analysis of the work of this great master for a twenty-first-century audience.
Since the 1980s, most books and exhibitions on Picasso have focused on the artist＊s personal relationships, specifically on the representation of his wives and mistresses. Art historian and curator Pepe Karmel shifts the debate by considering Picasso＊s works first and foremost as art, explaining how the artist＊s style has evolved over the course of seven decades, introducing visual languages and narratives that have transformed modern art.
Arranged chronologically by themes and movements,
is profusely illustrated with renowned paintings, such as the provocative
and the monumental war piece
, as well as lesser-known works, including Picasso＊s animal sculptures and his animated reinterpretation of Vel芍zquez＊s seventeenth-century masterpiece
.
Numerous exhibitions planned for 2023 will coincide with this important and accessible volume.
