With the publication of this PiCASSO book, the literature on the greatest painter of our century reaches its climax. Few artists of recent times have been so extensively studied and written about as this irrepressible Spaniard, but no single volume has succeeded in showing and telling so much about him and his work.

Examines the life of this well-known modern painter and the historical and artistic influences on his work.

Tells the story of Pablo Picasso as he grows through his early days as an artist, his discovery of cubism, and his later years of sculpture and painting to become a famous artist.
