This review is from: Picasso (Masters of Art) (Hardcover)

This book superbly portrays Picasso as a man: his joie de vivre his love of women, his love of life, his guttural grasping at the meaning of life, love and beauty in its modern, cruel guise. Throughout the author refers to to real people: people who exist - people like you, and people like me: people who go down to the mall, people who eat ham and cheese baguettes, people who delve into the deeper things.... the ntherworld of life: love: the internet: humour; bullfighting, his mother his love , his daughter.
