Starting in the 1950s, he lived and worked as a photographer on the Côte d?Azur, which was a playground for celebrities from the world of show biz, art and business during the ?Golden Fifties? The rich and famous came to the Riviera to relax. But the movie stars recognized the importance of their off-screen image, and Quinn was in the right place at the right time, managing to capture spontaneous and enchanting images that documented the charm, sophistication and chic of a legendary era. In 1951, Edward Quinn met and photographed Pablo Picasso for the first time. Their friendship lasted until Picasso?s death in 1973. This encounter with Picasso had a lasting influence on Quinn, both personally and in regard to his subsequent work. Quinn is the author of several books and films about Picasso.
