Review
‘Patrick O’Brian has written much the best biography of Picasso. It is full of information, the judgements both of Picasso as a man and as an artist seem to me remarkably convincing, and it is extremely well-written. In particular, the relationship between Picasso and the Catalan painters is given its true importance, both in his formative years and, as friends, throughout his life.’
Kenneth Clarke

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Karsh and the Barcelona Museum (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, spine faded, not price clipped (£6.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 511pp. A scholarly, passionate and brilliantly written biography of Pablo Picasso by Patrick O'Brian (1914-2000), the famous author of the much loved Aubrey-Maturin series of historic naval stories. Patrick O'Brian's outstanding biography of Picasso explores comprehensively the life of this awe inspiring artist. Enormously productive and hugely successful, Picasso continues to attract avid, insatiable public interest. O'Brian was a close friend and a neighbour of Picasso's, and the book reflects the closeness of their friendship and the immense erudition and warm wit of Patrick O'Brian. The man that emerges from the pages is full of contradictions, hard yet tender, mean yet generous, affectionate but cold, professing communism but retaining an essentially Catholic mentality, private despite his relish of fame. Critically, O'Brian's is the only biography to fully appreciate the distinctly Mediterranean origins of Picasso's character and art. Sex and money, eating and drinking, friends and quarrels, comedies and tragedies, suicides and wars tumble over each other in the vast chaos of Picasso's experience, He was 'a man almost as lonely as the sun, but one who glowed with much the same fierce, burning life'. Quite a scarce book, a classic. Seller Inventory # 010819
