This little book consists of Picasso's pen and ink drawings that he completed with one line (never picking the pen up off of the paper. Matadors, bulls and harlequins are among the subject matter of the drawings. There are occaional quotes interspersed throughout the book. This a cute little book that would make a fun gift for a Picasso fan.

This little book is a real joy, and it should have a wide appeal. Seeing what vital fun Picasso can have by putting his pen down on the paper for just one long line is a great way to enter into what drawing and art are all about. In my opinion, this book makes a great gift--though small, it is unlike many "coffee table books" people are always giving, in that the quantity of sheer fun on every page (also through Picasso's verbal one-liners) keeps beckoning you to open it up, the way you might put a favorite CD on the stereo. A great little book full of artistic delight!

I ordered this from Amazon two months before Christmas as a gift, and was told that it would arrive on time. Amazon later informed me that the book would not arrive until February. When February finally came, they sent an email to say that I would not be receiving the book at all because they could not find a copy of it anywhere.

Amazon is showing this item for sale but does NOT have it available -- don't waste your time ordering from here!

(By the way, the book is absolutely wonderful, as I have been fortunate enough to read through it before; I would give the book itself 5 stars but Amazon 1 star for false advertising. Hence, 4 stars.)
