Containing uncensored and on-the-spot observations of Picasso at home and in company, Visiting Picasso is a wonderfully vivid, spontaneous and lively record of Roland Penroses many encounters with the artist and his family, friends and associates, from their first meeting in 1936 to the artists death in 1973. Over 70 photographs, many by Penroses wife Lee Miller, illustrate the colourful cast of characters, including Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, Jean Cocteau and Georges Braque, as well as artworks and events described. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. 408 pages; Description: 408 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 349-403) and index. Subjects: Picasso, Pablo (1881-1973) --Friends and associates --Penrose, Roland, Sir --Diaries --Correspondence.
