Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-This biography, unbroken by chapters, reads like fiction. The story covers Picasso's life from early childhood to his death. His Blue and Rose Periods are suitably explained, although more detail is given to his cubism era. His many relationships with women are, appropriately for this age range, glossed over. The illustrations are representative of Picasso's different styles. Perhaps his most famous painting, Guernica, is the only work reproduced here. The author states, "In 1944, Guernica was put on display at the World's Fair in Paris. War was still going on in France then." This is simply not true. The painting was displayed there in 1937, before World War II even started. Furthermore, there was no World's Fair in 1944. This suggests sloppy research and editing. Mike Venezia's Picasso (Children's, 1988) aptly covers the same information and gives many more examples of the artist's work.

Review

Both accurate and accessible to upper elementary school students, particularly less than proficient readers, this book's text and painterly, full color illustrations provide a detailed account of Pablo Picasso's life and art. A brief timeline is a helpful feature whether reading for entertainment or research for a book report. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Approved winner.
