Picasso was one of the great artists of the 20th century. Although very active as a painter and sculptor, he rarely committed himself to writing on the subject of art. The author collects and edits his statements as culled from articles, books and in interviews by friends and associates. Here are Picasso's own ideas and thoughts about art and artists, giving an intimate sense of his insight and wit. Illustrated with his own book designs, this work affords a unique view of the artist through all of his abilities and perspectives. Softcover, 188 pages, bibliography and list of illustrations.
