Considered by many to be the greatest artist of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso created a body of work that continues to command enormous popular interest. Of hand-held size, this compact collection manages to be affordable and comprehensive—a veritable dictionary of the artist’s work. Included are all genres and periods of his work—through the early blue and rose periods to cubism and later abstraction. Introducing the images is an insightful essay by celebrated art critic Robert Hughes. This book provides an essential resource for students as well as for all art lovers. And it represents an extraordinary value. No other book on the artist offers as many images at this price.

it's a wonderful book, and in color to boot. If you want to have a book illustrating Picasso's works, then you won't go wrong getting a hold of this. It's loaded.

This review is from: The Portable Picasso (Paperback)
this is a good book which contains many color photos of Picasso's work. i think it contains a good repesentation of his work. what i don't like about it, is the photos are small. i owned a copy of the book earlier that did not hold up to light use very well.

This review is from: The Portable Picasso (Portables) (Paperback)
I've just added The Portable Picasso to my list of greatest art books. First of all, Picasso is one of the best artists that lived, only Van Gogh is better and Matisse comes close. This inexpensive volume collects 400 of this master's art in a portable, easy to look at volume. This is just a wonderful book.
