Customer Reviews

One fine book

If you are a fan of Picasso and his artist buddies and going to Paris, this is a fine book. Check out other titles from the same publisher, "The Little Bookroom," as well if going to Paris. They are equally fine. I own a number of them as well. They are all unique and in depth.

A topographical perspective

This book contains many Picasso photographs at various stages of his life in Paris (before he moved to Vallauris). Did you know this revolutionary artist spent a great part of his life in a very "typical" flat of the most "bourgeois" district of Paris (8th arrondissement)? Paintings are displayed both along a geographical and a chronological perspective which is a refreshing and appropriate approach for such a book. This guide is practical, full of facts. You will like it.
