New Horizons: Picasso

More about the book

Picasso's name has become synonymous with creative genius, but who was he - a public figure who lived his life in the headlines, or a private person, unpredictable and filled with secrets? This intimate portrait traces his life from the early years in Spain through his long residence in Paris. In it we meet his friends and lovers and witness his rise from poverty to overwhelming worldwide recognition. Above all, he was an artist who, through constant experimentation, made an indelible mark on the 20th-century.
