The Portable Picasso

Of hand-held size, this compact collection manages to be affordable and comprehensive—a veritable dictionary of the artist’s work. Included are all genres and periods of his work—through the early blue and rose periods to cubism and later abstraction. Introducing the images is an insightful essay by celebrated art critic Robert Hughes. This book provides an essential resource for students as well as for all art lovers. And it represents an extraordinary value. No other book on the artist offers as many images at this price.
