Descrizione

Introduction and text by Roland Penrose. Illustrated throughout with black and white and colour photographs by Edward Quinn . 4to. pp. 276 n.n.. . Molto buono (Very Good). . First English Edition. . ''In this pictorial chronicle of Picasso at work and at play, the reader can perhaps catch the mood and the atmosphere in which the outstanding artist of this age lives and creates. It aims to show how he is inspired by the everyday things and happenings around him, by the homes he lives in and by his wife, his children, his friends and his pet animals, how he works and why sometimes he destroys what does not please him. It may help to form a definite idea of the kind of man he is and how he explores the many facets of art by constant experiment with forms, materials and colours'' (E. Quinn)
