1. A Life Of Picasso, Vol. 2
The Cubist Rebel, 1907–1916
A vivid, panoramic portrait of Picasso’s breakthrough years in the Paris avant-garde, tracing his bold stylistic upheavals as he invents and consolidates Cubism, navigates tempestuous relationships with models, patrons and fellow artists, and fights the social and critical battles that propel him from provincial talent to an international force; richly researched and anecdotal, the account interweaves close readings of key works, studio life, and the networks of dealers, collectors, writers and rivals that shaped both his career and his public myth.
