    <![CDATA[Of all the books on the man many consider the greatest genius of 20th-century art, the sumptuous hardcover volume published by Abrams in 2000 stands out as truly the &quot;ultimate&quot; Picasso. This new paperback edition includes everything in the previous book, in a smaller, reader-friendly format. It covers in one volume all the periods of Picasso's long, incredibly versatile career, with exquisite reproductions of nearly every significant work he ever created and texts by leading authorities on particular periods of Picasso's artistic evolution.     <p>Brigitte Léal covers Picasso's formative years from 1881 through 1916, a period that includes his invention of Cubism with Georges Braque. Christine Piot explores the astonishingly fertile period from 1917 through 1952. Marie-Laure Bernadac discusses the unabashed vigor of Picasso's later years, from 1953 until his death in 1973. More than 1,200 magnificent reproductions, almost 800 in full color, illustrate Picasso's breathtaking range of artistic expression, including paintings, drawings, lithographs, ceramics, and sculpture. Picasso once boasted that a book would have to be written every day to keep up with his creative output. Perhaps. But for art lovers and students seeking just one book, The <em>Ultimate Picasso</em> is unsurpassed.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Nearly a decade after its initial publication, <em>Picasso: The Monograph 1881-1973</em> is back in print, updated and redesigned in a more user-friendly format. Poligrafa's brand new edition of this classic volume offers more than 1,200 newly scanned reproductions, spanning Picasso's entire career and illustrating his breathtaking range of artistic expression, including paintings, drawings, lithographs, ceramics and sculpture. Elegantly translated from the original French, the monograph weaves biographical details with thorough elucidations of the artist's work into a concise and seamless narrative. All three contributors are highly regarded in Picasso scholarship: Brigitte Leal and Marie-Laure Bernadac, both former curators of the Musee Picasso in Paris, are now respectively curators of the Centre Pompidou and the Louvre Museum, while Christine Piot co-authored the catalogue raisonne of Picasso's sculpture. Leal covers Picasso's formative years through 1916, including his co-invention of Cubism with Georges Braque. Piot focuses on the artist's glory years from 1917 through 1952, and Bernadac discusses the vigor of Picasso's later years, from 1953 until his death in 1973. With clearly organized visual sources, acknowledgements of leading art historians' interpretations and quotes from Picasso's contemporaries, this book remains unsurpassed as the definitive Picasso monograph for students and art lovers alike.]]>

    <![CDATA[For years Pablo Picasso's sculptural oeuvre was one of the best-kept secrets of 20th century art. It was only through retrospectives in Paris, London and New York during the 1960's that Picasso the sculptor became known to a larger public*who discovered a complexity and variety in his sculptures that easily rivals that of his paintings and drawings. Pablo Picasso: The Sculptures is catalogue raisonna of Picasso's sculptures, a seminal work informed by conversations between the author, Picasso specialist Werner Spies, and Picasso himself. The present edition has been thoroughly revised and now includes numerous color illustrations of important pieces. In all this volume features over 740 works by the artist, ranging from miniature paper figures to constructions from metal, wood, and found objects, from folding sculptures made from tin to massive, at times monumental works. A definitive statement on Picasso's sculptural oeuvre, this book provides a key to understanding and appreciating works that, in their ingenuity and their inventiveness, still provide an inexhaustible source of inspiration for today's artists.]]>

    <![CDATA[On croit tout connaître de lui. Picasso. Certains continuent à parler d'un art infantile alors que d'autres crient au génie. Une monographie sans jugement, donnant simplement à mieux connaître son oeuvre et sa vie, s'imposait. Brigitte Léal et Marie-Laure Bernadac, toutes deux anciennement conversateurs au musée Picasso, et Christine Piot, co-auteur entre autres, <em>Picasso, Écrits</em> signent une oeuvre majeure. Et chronologique, respectant en cela la pensée de Picasso :   <blockquote><em>Pourquoi croyez-vous que je date tout ce que je fais ? C'est qu'il ne suffit pas de connaître les oeuvres d'un artiste. Il faut aussi savoir quand il les faisait, pourquoi, comment, dans quelles circonstances.</em></blockquote>   Une vie découpée en trois périodes. 1881-1916, ses premiers dessins &quot;Picador&quot;, l'école des Beaux-Arts, ses sujets préférés sont alors ses parents. Des peintures académiques, très XIXe, aux couleurs sombres, réalistes. S'ensuit une période moderniste, gouaches, pastels, premiers autoportraits qui font penser à Van Dongen. 1901 : La Période Bleue, <em>L'Arlequin</em>. Picasso s'échappe. Et Pablo, à Paris en 1906, laisse deviner ce que sera le cubisme. 1907 : <em>Les Demoiselles d'Avignon</em>. 1917-1952, retour à la tradition figurative, influence de la sculpture, <em>Guernica</em> en 1937... 1953-1972, <em>Les Ménines</em>, <em>Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe</em>, ses derniers tableaux, dessins et gravures. Les auteurs concluent :   <blockquote><em>Picasso a vécu jusqu'au bout, aimé jusqu'au bout, créé jusqu'au bout, donnant l'exemple accompli du retour à &quot;l'enfance&quot; de l'art, ce moment, où tout est toujours à recommencer.</em></blockquote> <em>--Nathalie Robert</em>  ]]>
