- Summary
- In the more than seventy-five years of his long career, Pablo Picasso developed or opened the way to most of the many styles of the twentieth century. The astonishing versatility and sustained quality of his genius strain the conventions of critical examination. Now, seven years after the artist's death, this retrospective volume encompasses all of the manifestations of Picasso's prolific genius, the full organic evolution of his art. It is the most complete pictorial summation yet to appear in a single volume of the total oeuvre of this extraordinary artist. Almost a thousand works are illustrated, over two hundred of them in color. They include more than two hundred works from the Picasso estate that were chosen by the French government for the new Musée Picasso in Paris, as well as almost a hundred from one or another of Picasso's six heirs. These are works the artist had kept for himself, many of them central to an understanding of his artistic interests and experiments. To this core have been added paintings, sculpture, drawings, collages, prints, and ceramics from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from the Musées Nationaux de France, and from the museums of Barcelona, Basel, Leningrad, London, Moscow, and Prague, as well as from other institutions and public and private collections throughout this country and abroad. A chronology, enhanced by many documentary photographs, introduces each section of plates, providing a detailed, year-by-year record of Picasso's life and works. Pablo Picasso: A Retrospective has been published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by The Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with the Musées Nationaux de France. As the permanent record of that exhibition, it documents the achievement of the entire span of Picasso's working life and celebrates the immense reach of his creative spirit.
