UNITY OF PICASSO S ART

This volume presents three of Meyer Schapiro s finest essays on Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Given that we esteem artists whose work epitomises particular styles, how can we likewise value Picasso, an artist who demonstrates a wide range of artistic styles? In his first essay, The Unity he finds unity through hidden associations among seemingly disparate works and unsuspected ties to Picasso s personal experiences. This book offers comprehensive analyses of the 20th-century s most prolific artist - Pablo Picasso. It will appeal to all those who have followed Picasso s career and to those intrigued by the multi-faceted connections between art and social changes.
