A well-designed and accessible introduction to the life and work of Pablo Picasso, The Picasso Book by art historian Neil Cox takes a thematic approach to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Rather than following a straightforward chronology, the book explores Picasso through recurring themes including poetry, war, the fragmentation of the human figure, play and the artist himself. It brings together paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, collage and other aspects of Picasso’s extraordinarily broad practice.
Published by Tate Publishing in 2010 as part of the Essential Artists series, the book contains 224 pages with extensive colour illustrations and bibliographical material.
A particularly useful studio and reference book for anyone interested in modern art, Picasso, Cubism and 20th-century art history, while also making a handsome addition to a coffee table or art-book collection.
