About the Item

By Anna Beatriz Chadour-Sampson, Paul Greenhalgh, Eric turner & Marina Valzey Wendy Ramshaw who lives in London is one of the leading artist-jewellers of the late 20th century whose distinctive style is internationally admired and widely influential." "Picasso, one of the most prolific artists of the 20th century, and his painted records of his wives, mistresses and friends have been the focus of Ramshaw's study since the mid-Eighties. The sheer beauty of the women and the full range of emotions expressed in these paintings provided the impetus to design one or more jewels for each of the 66 portraits of 'Picasso's Ladies' illustrated in this book." "In this publication the collection is for the first time being presented in its entirety alongside Picasso's paintings, the source of stimulus. In an unusual approach the artist gives in her notes an insight into her working process. She reveals to us the personal messages of each painting which led to a number of amazing designs and how her choice of stones either reflect or go against the colours on the paintings. Four authors have illuminated various aspects of what are undoubtedly some of the most intellectually complex and aesthetically accomplished jewels. personal inscription on inside front cover (see picture) 176 pages. 1180 grams.
