Much faster than we imagine, Picasso dominated his era with his multifaceted genius and the fervor he generated. Upon his death, all the newspapers spoke in unison of the "Century of Picasso." Far from both the current demonization and the hagiography of yesteryear, Stéphane Guégan sheds a contrasting light on the man, his life, his political commitments, and his immense body of work. Although it is impossible to describe everything, it was important to identify his strengths and weaknesses, to isolate an aesthetic continuity. Stéphane Guégan does this brilliantly in this illustrated book with more than one hundred masterpieces and numerous documents, which reads like a novel and can be admired like a sumptuous art book.
