Pablo Picasso / Young Art / Volume 14
'Ambiguous work. Where do you put it?” wrote the art historian Oscar Schürer as early as 1927 in the historical series Young Art about Pablo Picasso’s multifaceted oeuvre. Picasso, who was dealing with surrealism at the time, was already considered a genius back then – and still had another 40 creative years ahead of him. An almost unmanageable number of paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptures and ceramics are part of the grandiose legacy of a talent that showed the way to 20th-century art.
The art historian Markus Müller knows where and, above all, how such a complex work is to be »packed«. In this newly edited artist monograph, he knowledgeably guides the reader through Pablo Picasso's virtuoso pluralism of styles, explains key works from the various periods and conveys an exciting impression of the multi-talented artist's sparkling energy. Last but not least, the personal acquaintance of the author with the Picasso family promises rarely shown finds for the archive part of the volume.
