| Abstract
|
:
|
"This engaging examination of Picasso's life and art takes as focal points Picasso's shifting relationships with his close friends. Mary Ann Caws describes the artist's life thematically and chronologically, invoking central places and characters in various periods of Picasso's long and active life: in Barcelona; his time at the centre of the 'bande a Picasso' at the Bateau-Lavoir in Paris; his work and life in Provence; his friendships with Gertrude Stein, Max Jacob, Apollinaire and Pierre Reverdy. Jean Cocteau, Breton and the Surrealists, and later Dali, Eluard and critic Roland Penrose. The book also traces his relationships with women, notably his partners Dora Maar, Francoise Gilot and Jacqueline Roque." "Caws provides biographical context for Picasso's work, focusing on the time around Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and then Guernica, as well as the changes and consistencies in his oeuvre over the twentieth century. Throughout, the author examines Picasso's juggling of viewpoints, artistic strategies, loves and friends, which she interprets as part of the expansion of the artist's genius and magnetic personality, represented by the figures of the harlequin, the clown and the acrobat." "This book is a concise and lively study of the enormously productive and varied life and art of one of the twentieth century's most influential figures."--BOOK JACKET.
