Picasso's granddaughter introduces readers to a sublime selection of the artist's erotic masterpieces, brought together in this lush and elegant volume. Pablo Picasso lived life as he painted it--with sensual energy and abandon. Nearly every woman whom he loved has been immortalised in his work, from the playful nudes of his early years to the classical representations of the twenties and the more frankly sexual paintings that crowned his career. With mesmerising colour and an appealing design, this chronologically arranged volume follows Picasso's artistic development as expressed in more than ninety erotically charged works. Exquisitely reproduced paintings and etchings such as "Salome Dancing Nude in Front of Herod", "Demoiselles d'Avignon", and the famous "Pisseuse" are displayed alongside fragments from Picasso's love letters and his revealing observations about the role of sensuality in his life. Diana Widmaier Picasso comments on her grandfather's amorous adventures, offering intimate revelations and insights that transform this beautiful book into a personal reflection of one man's consuming passion.
