Book Reviews of The Essential Pablo Picasso
Book Review: AN ICONIC ARTIST
Summary: 5 Stars
When a renowned photographer was asked why Picasso did not attend Henri Matisse's funeral, the reply was: "Because he didn't like death. He didn't like thinking about death......And he thought that if he stopped working, that was death."Picasso, arguably the artistic giant of this century, seldom stopped working and he lived to be 91. Sometimes he was found working in the nude, enjoying his reputation as an enfant terrible. He had many mistresses, and was the proud, if not doting, father of a number of love children.
A courageous maverick who was constantly exploring new art forms, he was also somber witness to the tragedy of war as is evident in his "Guernica, 1937."
The world may not see his like again, but here is a stunning portrait.
