This review is from: Pablo Picasso: A Retrospective- The Museum of Modern Art, New York (Hardcover)

MoMA's William Rubin and Dominique Bozo of Le Musée Picasso in Paris made a historic and commendable joint curatorial effort to assemble a fantastic exhibition of Picasso's artworks from the 1890's till his passing in 1973.

Attended by more than 976,800 visitors, the 1980 "PABLO PICASSO" retrospective remains the museum all-time most popular exhibition. This book is for those who could not make it to New York City's MoMA to pay a unique homage to the Michelangelo of the 20th Century.

The four colors reproductions of Picasso's artworks meet the eyes with high quality standards. Also included are many archival B&W photos of Le Grand Maitre and his cultured friends, inspirational muses, celebrated mistresses, lovely models, honorable family members and a coterie of various hanger-ons.

An Object d'Art in itself, this Picasso book -now out-of-print- is a pretty good way to get yourself acquainted with the famous artworks and the multiple lives of this unforgettable art-world legend.

758 Illustrations (200 in colors) and 181 reference illustrations.
Chronology by Jane Fluegel.
Designed by Christopher Holmes.
Printed and bound by The Arts Publishers, Inc., Richmond and New York in the United States of America.

This review is from: Pablo Picasso: A Retrospective (Museum of Modern Art, New York) (Paperback)

This book arrived in perfect condition and is a beautiful catalogue
Great text and quality pictures
The sender had a big job as it was a really heavy book
and I would hate to ever carry one of these from the museum
