Picasso. Una biografia

XVI-VII-MMXXIV

Strange person Pablo Picasso, bizarre genius and powerful presence, not only in the History of Art worldwide but also in his private affections and relationships with colleagues and friends. For those who wish to traverse his life, from his great artistic achievements to his more fragile private relationships, there is a comprehensive and well-written biography considered almost a bible of the artist. It was written by Patrick O’Brian, a British writer, essayist and translator, and he did it thanks both to his direct acquaintance with Picasso and by studying the literature and documents about him.

This book interests us because it is a biography that draws art lovers into a history within history, it is didactic and at the same time flows like a novel.
