Works from a host of artists have been brought together in this book which celebrates women as a goddess, mother, wife, lover and femme fatale. Among the artists featured are Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cezanne, Marc Chagall, Edgar Degas, Kees van Dongen, Paul Gauguin, Fernand Leger, Henry Matisse, Joan Miro, Amedeo Modigliani and Auguste Renoir. Thirty images by Picasso in pencil, watercolour and pastel-chalk are also included. Most of the 80 works in this collection have rarely, if ever, been exhibited in public, but together they form an exhibition held in Balingen, Germany from mid-June to mid-September 1996.
