Picasso and the Art of Drawing (Modern Art Press)

The book charts the ever changing and inventive ways that Picasso used in his drawings reflecting the changes in his personal circumstances. Illustrated with beautiful colour plates throughout, this book is essential not just for Picasso fans but anyone interested in graphic art. As an artist I find it endlessly inspiring

Excellent book and an excellent service. 👍🏻

A dedicated study of Picasso`s drawings, examining his development from his student days through all the key periods of his career. Picasso`s detractors often forget (or choose to ignore) that he underwent a through classical art training; every development of his art was informed by his understanding of art history and developments in the Modernist movement. Lloyd's text is intelligent and clear, providing a fair account of the fundamental importance of drawing in the artist's process and how it provided a tool for exploration and experimentation throughout his life. The book is well-illustrated with some 143 colour illustrations, including works that are rarely (if ever) reproduced in other books. A useful addition to the art library even if you already have other books on Picasso; it would also make a good introduction for anyone who is uncertain about the artist's work and wishes to gain an understanding of it.

Book damaged when it was delivered

I thought about buying this book but having seen the contents i changed my mind. Picasso like his friend Matisse was essentially a decorator and the drawings are not breathtakingly good like those of Raphael for instance it is said that he went beyond Ingres in his mastery of line .an art critic,s opinion rather than that of a true scholar of Drawing.Look at Michelangelo,Rembrandt,watteau,Rubens Carracci Durer ,Menzel ,Degas ,Van Gogh and abut 20 others masters at the most to learn from

If you love art, this book is for you

Libro con una buona analisi critica del lavoro del grande artista, che ripercorre le varie fasi della sua vita concentrandosi sugli aspetti legati al disegno. Ottima la qualità della stampa - con una carta adatta ed una resa cromatica eccellente - ottima anche l''impaginazione che permette di vedere nel dettaglio le opere scelte.

Disappointing. Book is cheesy. Not many essential pictures of Picasso. Only few interesting drawings. One from his Erotic series of drawings. Not enough to enjoy.

Very nice for a gift

Sou suspeito para falar ! , sou colecionador de livros de arte de Picasso ...... e esse não poderia ser diferente , muito bom no que tange a "DESENHO ", não a telas propriamente ditas , tem muitos desenhos coloridos , rascunhos , algumas coisas de catalogo raisoneé , folhas em couchê ( show de bola - capa dura ) , achei o livro com dimensão pequena , mas deve ser porque os outros que tenho são muito maiores ..... mas recomendadíssimo
