Reviews
This edition comes in two books in a cardboard sleeve. Book One covers his works from 1890 - 1936.Book two covers his works from 1937 - 1973.There is a detailed chronology at the back of book two with many black and white photographs of Picasso and his family and friends. As well as notes, an index of names and a comprehensive bibliography.The text is well written and engaging, describing the how and why of Picasso's techniques and themes; with historical personal, and technical considerations.There are many good quality pictures of his work from all facets of his careers, some depicting a series of the same image as he experimented with different ideas. It is remarkable to see the breadth of his talent laid out as it is in this book. It gave me a strong impression of his talent and dedication to his art.I looked at many books on Picasso to compare with this Taschen publication but none that were in my price range came close to comparing with the quality of the production and content of these books.
