Picasso Les Ménines et la Vie - Jaime Sabartes - 1st edition, Paris, 1958
About the Item
Published by Édition Cercle d’Art, 1st French edition, Paris, 1958. Hardback, French text translated from thr original Spanish edition.
A dialogue of two preeminent artists of their centuries, this gorgeously illustrated book charts Picasso’s fascination with Velázques’s Las Meninas - the most revolutionary and rebellious royal portrait possibly to date. Picasso is fascinated with the ricochet of light and shadow, the odd cast of characters assembled in the painting, and the allegory of the illusory and the reality in Velázques’s masterpiece.
Las Meninas by Picasso, a series of 58 paintings aim to thoroughly investigate and interpret Spain’s past in relation to the present, couched with insinuations of his dissatisfaction with the Franco regime. This series of paintings manifest Picasso’s artistic and personal resistance and it’s a marvel for us to look at - how the Spanish past and present artistic currents flow into each other in a beautiful symphony.

- The Sketchbooks of Picasso "Je Suis Le Cahier" Hardcover Book 1st Ed. 1986By (after) Pablo PicassoLocated in North Hollywood, CA"Je Suis Le Cahier" The Sketchbooks of Picasso hardcover book 1st Edition 1986 The Sketchbooks of Picasso "Je Suis Le Cahier". Pablo Picasso, "Picasso considered all of his works to be entries in his diary; he excluded nothing. The sketchbooks are generic chapters inextricable from his oeuvre. In Picasso's paintings the spontaneity of gesture is deceptive since the manner is which he leaves his tracks visible superficially suggests minimal preparation. Although most of Picasso's solutions appear to be immediately worked out on the canvas, this was far from the fact. Many paintings sprang fully formed as the fulfillment of preconscious models, but very often others were the product of the process of trial solution and discovery through drawing. There are eight sketchbooks for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, five for the saltimbanques, four for the Luncheon on the Grass series, and two for The rape of the Sabines. In sketchbook No. 171, Picasso inscribed...Category
