Gongora - Poetry Comes to Life, August 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Gongora (Hardcover)
It is a pleasure to review a book that combines the beauty of the artistic word with the elegance of the artist's hand. In this beautiful work, the reader immerses himself in the translations of the sonnets of Luis de Gongora y Argote and portraits by Pablo Picasso. A copy of each sonnet, rewritten by Picasso is dramatically seen with portraits and embellishments. The book is reproduced to scale and a must for lovers of the arts.

Gongora Book, March 15, 2007
This review is from: Gongora (Hardcover)
This is an excellent reference book for those who are familiar with the Picasso artworks and want to find an English translation of each sonnet that Gongora wrote. I had researched via the internet for the translations of these 20 poems, but came up empty, until I received this exquisite book. A beautiful formatted book with large text and the Picasso artworks are the same size as the original aquatint etchings. A Must for all Picasso collectors and art/literature appreciators. It has helped me tremendous in my art field.
