Yet there is still uncharted territory on the map of his opulent oeuvre: the subject of bathers and beach scenes that fascinated Picasso throughout his life. This subject, so close to the heart of the centurys leading artist, is illuminated in this illustrated volume featuring color reproductions of some 130 works from all of Picassos creative periods. Comparable works by artists known to have inspired Picasso - among them Cezanne, Matisse, Honoir, Deram, Braque, Leger, and Miro - complete this unprecedented panorama.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=771104 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=501421 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=367072 160 outstanding works from the most famous collections in the world. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=370473 Unlike the human body and still life, landscapes were not one of Picassos primary genres, but emerged over time as a game he played with combinations and symbols. This superb book, catalogue to a 1999 exhibition of the same name at the Picasso Museu, Barcelona, maps the evolution of Picassos landscapes. Essays include Making a Landscape out of the Body by Valeriano Bozal and works include The Kiss, The Sleepers, Country Concert, The Pigeons (series), The Rescue, The Kitchen, The Bathers, and Flower Seller. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=162095 This book draws upon new research and works that, in some cases, were held out of public view in Picassos own collection to explore the critically important - but still under-studiedperiod of his life from the time of the Spanish Civil War through World War II and the Nazi occupation of France. This span of years is marked by some of the most intensely personal and expressive work of his long and diverse career. This book is published in conjunction with a major exhibition organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. It traces Picassos responses to the cataclysm of war as manifested in a lengthy series of figure paintings, still lifes, portraits, and cityscapes, amplified by prints, drawings, and photographs, drawn from collections all around the world.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=391170 Picassos interest in ceramics arose briefly at the turn of the century and later, between 1945 and 1973, ran parallel to, sculpture, and engraving. In his sixties, Picasso tackled ceramics again, attracted by the materials potential, by the way its plastic properties allowed him to adapt it to his imagination. A number of skilled ceramists lived near his home in Vallauris, including the Ramie family, whose Madoura workshop produced the vast majority of the Spanish artists work. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=291844 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=291803 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=283336 One hundred and twenty prints by Picasso from the collection of the Norton Simon Museum are presented in this highly readable, fully illustrated, and scholarly catalogue which accompanies the exhibition at the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University, at the Toledo Museum of Art, and at the Norton Simon Museum. The prints include highlights from all major areas of Picassos graphic work, and are presented here in rare depth. Picassos formidable printmaking accomplishments cover a range of activity in varied techniques from 1905 to 1970.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=155586 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=324577 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=29066 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=124520 Pablo Picasso, undisputably one of the greatest masters of the twentieth century, is a perfect embodiment of the modern artist. Forfeiting a conventional career and scorning the artistic establishment - despite his academic training and exceptional natural talent - he fully embraced the bohemian lifestyle of the avant-garde throughout his long and productive life. In this illustrated survey of the artists career, nearly seventy full-color plates reproduce masterpieces as well as lesser-known works, demonstrating the diversity and scope of Picassos extraordinary artistic output. The son of a drawing teacher from Malaga, Spain, Picasso moved to Barcelona in 1895 and plunged into the cosmopolitan turn-of-the-century art scene of that city. By 1904 he was living in Paris in the legendary neighborhood of Montmartre. Over the next few years the artist became intrigued by Iberian sculpture and African masks, and incorporated their evocative imagery into his art, culminating in the famous 1907 painting, Les Demoiselles dAvignon. Along with the painter Georges Braque, Picasso then embarked on the artistic revolution known as Cubism, an abstract style that completely altered the way the world was represented in art. As the century progressed, Picasso continued to test artistic boundaries, ultimately developing a highly personal expressionistic style. This is perhaps best represented by the well-known 1937 painting Guernica, the artists reaction to a horrific episode of civilian slaughter during the Spanish Civil War. Following World War II, Picasso settled in the south of France where he continued to work until his death in 1973.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=304231 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=291759 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=308315 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=324576 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=302771 The catalog of the 1988 exhibition at the Musee National dArt Moderne, Paris, and the Tate Gallery. The intimate relationship between the artist and his model, and the bold colors and freedom with which Picasso approached his subject are stimulating and provocative. Five essays offer insights into Picassos life and work during the years 1953-1972.
