Paperback. Condizione: Good. This first volume of John Richardson's exceedingly detailed yet eminently readable three-volume life, takes Picasso to the age of twenty-five. Richardson's sharp eye and extensive knowledge of cultural history enable him to show how Picasso plundered the masters of the past, the imaginations of his poet friends, and the beliefs of mystics & magi to come up with a revolutionary new synthesis. The author's evocation of Picasso's ferocious ego and demonic loves & hates & deep fears is the more absorbing for his terse, lively prose and freedom from jargon, allowing him to originally make sense of Picasso's myriad contradictions. Addenda. Over 900 b&w illus.

Thanks to his friendship with Picasso and his family, mistresses, friends, dealers and other associates, Richardson has had unique access to untapped sources and unpublished material. By harnessing biography to art history, he has managed to crack the code of cubism more successfully than any of his predecessors. And by bringing fresh light to bear on the artist's too often sensationalized private life, he has succeeded in coming up with a totally new view of this paradoxical man and of his paradoxical work. Never before has Picasso's prodigious technique, his incisive vision and, not least, his sardonic humor been analyzed with such clarity. Richardson reveals that the young Picasso saw himself in the Baudelairean role of "the painter of modern life"~ a role that stipulated the brothel as the noblest subject for a modern artist. Hence his great innovative painting Les Demoiselles d'Auignon, with which this book opens. As well as portraying Picasso as a revolutionary, the author analyzes the more compassionate side of his genius. The misogynist of posthumous legend turns out to have been surprisingly vulnerable ~ more often sinned against than sinning. Heartbroken at the death of his mistress Eva, the artist tried desperately to find a wife. Richardson recounts the untold story of how his two great loves of 1915~17 successively turned him down; and how these disappointments, as well as his horror at the outbreak of World War I and the wounds it inflicted on his closest friends, Braque and Apollinaire, shadowed his painting and drove him off to Rome~back to the ancient world. For Picasso, art would always have a magic function. As Richardson reveals, the artist saw himself as a shaman who could use his art to cast spells, both good and bad, and play all manner of ingenious and sardonic games. This greatest of modern artists knew better than anyone how to outrage us, also how to fascinate, puzzle and disturb us. Above all, he makes us perceive reality afresh by re~energizing our minds as well as our eyes. JOHN RICHARDSON was born in 1924. He studied art at the Slade School but soon gave up painting for art criticism. In 1949 he moved to Provence, where he helped the collector Douglas Cooper transform the Chateau de Castille near Avignon into a private museum of cubist painting. For the next twelve years he lived in France, where he became friends with Picasso, Braque, Leger and Cocteau. With Picasso's encouragement he embarked on an analytic study of the artist's portraits, part of which is incorporated in the present biography. The first volume of his Life of Picasso was published to wide acclaim in 1991 and won England's prestigious Whitbread Prize. In 1993 he was made a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy. In 1994~95 he served as the Slade Professor of Art at Oxford. Currently he divides his time between Connecticut and New York.
