Continuously updated and revised prior to the release of this first English edition, Picasso: Life and Art is a single volume assessment of the artist and his work available. Daix's close personal knowledge of Picasso, whom he knew for over 25 years, has enabled him to consider his achievement in relation to the events and personalities in his life. Picasso is arguably the greatest artist of the 20th-century, certainly the most prolific, and this examination covers his whole life, providing a detailed, balanced examination of his most important works.
