Description: A Life of Picasso Volume II by John Richardson Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Intends to recreate the Pablo Picassos life and work during the decade of 1907-17 - a period during which the artist and Georges Braque invented Cubism and to that extent engendered modernism. Bringing a fresh light to bear on the artists sensationalised private life, this title presents a view of this paradoxical man of his paradoxical work. Publisher Description The second volume of John Richardsons authoritative and bestselling biography of Picasso.John Richardson draws on the same combination of lively writing, critical astuteness, exhaustive research, and personal experience which made a bestseller out of the first volume and vividly recreates the artists life and work during the crucial decade of 1907-17 - a period during which Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque invented Cubism and to that extent engendered modernism.Richardson has had unique access to untapped sources and unpublished material. By harnessing biography to art history, he has managed to crack the code of cubism more successfully than any of his predecessors. And by bringing a fresh light to bear on the artists often too sensationalised private life, he has succeeded in coming up with a totally new view of this paradoxical man of his paradoxical work. Never before has Picassos prodigious technique, his incisive vision and not least his sardonic humour been analysed with such clarity.
