Synopsis

The name which predominates in the development of the arts during this century, and to which the most revolutionary changes are inevitably ascribed, is that of Pabli Picasso. It is, moreover, largely due to him that the conception of art as a powerful emotion medium, rather than the search for perfection in ideal forms of beauty, has become more accepted among the artists of our time. This book explores the criticisms of Picasso, has insightful information about his life and many colour photographs of his paintings.
