Pablo Picasso was perhaps the greatest artist of the twentieth century. Of course, there were others who, like him, changed the direction of modern art. What makes him exceptional is his gift for constantly reinventing himself. The melancholic poet of the Blue and Pink Periods became the impersonal engineer of Cubism.
Looking at Picasso offers an interesting new overview of the artist’s work. In his new book, Pepe Karmel ignores speculation about Picasso’s private life and focuses attention back on his work, once again confirming Picasso’s status. In clear and accessible prose, Karmel examines Picasso’s work, in all its expression, beauty and confrontation. He traces the development of the oeuvre over seven decades and shows how Picasso introduced new images and themes that changed modern art.
With more than a hundred images, including famous paintings such as Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica, as well as numerous drawings, sculptures and graphic works, Looking at Picasso offers a fresh perspective on the artist’s key innovations, as well as a complete overview and complete analysis of the work of this great master.
