As he magnificently combines meticulous scholarship with irresistible narrative appeal, Richardson draws on his close friendship with Picasso, his own diaries, the collaboration of Picasso's widow Jacqueline, and unprecedented access to Picasso's studio and papers to arrive at a profound understanding of the artist and his work. 800 photos.

Douglas, September 27, 2008 (view all comments by Douglas)
This is the first volume of John Richardson's biography of Picasso. I find the writing scholarly but quite accessable. There are many images per chapter, not only of Picasso's work, but of other artists mentioned in the text, as well as photographs of important figures in Picasso's life. These carefully selected images illuminate the text well. Richardson clearly demonstrates how the work in this early part of Picasso's life is related to his entire oevre, explaining context and place. This book is comprehensive and approachable, and speaks to many of the myths, some promoted by the artist himself, that are still extant.
