Editorial Reviews
Review
'The books give a sense of watching the artist at work, following their trains of thought and attempts to marry the concepts of Eros and sexuality. Each book offers perfect examples of the characteristic styles of each artist as well as exhibiting a remarkable distinction in their differing approaches to the given subject' --The Art Commerce Journal, April 2007

It's ok...,

This review is from: Picasso: Erotic Sketches (Prestel's Erotic Sketchbook) (German Edition) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book after seeing an erotic Picasso sketch in Barcelona. I couldn't get the sketch out of my head and was intrigued that a)Picasso had many such sketches and b)someone made a book out of them. My curiousity has been satisfied. There aren't enough sketches to develop an entire book. To make up for the lack of sketches, there are many blank pages in what seems to be awkward places (e.g. after a few sketches here and there, rather than after each sketch). Glad to have the book, but I should have bought the postcard in Spain.

This review is from: Picasso: Erotic Sketches (Prestel's Erotic Sketchbook) (German Edition) (Hardcover)
Nice copy of rarely published Picasso sketches. However they are much smaller than the originals and the colors not very clear.

Beautifully printed and presented, a book that says "gift" for an art-loving friend who appreciates mainstream erotic art.
