Picasso - Bathers

Edited by Ina Conzen. Essays by Dominique Dupuis-Labb, Guido Messling, Anke Spatter and Ina Conzen.

No artist enjoys greater popularity than Pablo Picasso, and no other artist has been exhibited more often or studied so intensely. Yet there is still uncharted territory on the map of his opulent oeuvre: the subject of bathers and beach scenes that fascinated Picasso throughout his life.This subject, so close to the heart of the century's leading artist, is illuminated in this illustrated volume featuring color reproductions of some 130 works from all of Picasso's creative periods. Comparable works by artists known to have inspired Picasso - among them Cezanne, Matisse, Honoir, Deram, Braque, Leger, and Miro - complete this unprecedented panorama.
