New Picasso Book Making Waves

Filed under: — brandon @ 11:18 am

John Richardson’s third installment into the life of Pablo Picasso, A Life of Picasso: The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932 is getting rave revews.

This powerhouse of a book spans a dauntingly complicated time in Picasso’s life and in European history as well, taking us from World War I and Picasso’s adventures with Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes to the riotously erotic images of Picasso’s youthful mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter, and the darkening situation of the early 1930s.

I have yet to check out this book, has anyone read it yet?
