Picasso and the Art of Drawing

In this generously illustrated and lively book, Christopher Lloyd sets out and interprets the lifelong achievement of Picasso (1881–1973) as a draftsman. Although there have been many publications about his drawings that have tended to focus on particular periods of his career, this stunning volume specifically examines how drawing serves as the vital thread connecting all of Picasso’s art, just as it also links his private world with his public persona of which he was becoming increasingly aware in his later years. Picasso and the Art of Drawing ultimately showcases how the basis of the titular artist's style as painter, sculptor, printmaker, and designer was manifestly achieved through drawing. 

In aceasta carte generos ilustrata si plina de viata, Christopher Lloyd prezinta si interpreteaza realizarea pe tot parcursul vietii a lui Picasso (1881–1973) ca desenator. Desi au existat multe publicatii despre desenele sale care au avut tendinta sa se concentreze asupra anumitor perioade ale carierei sale, acest volum uimitor examineaza in mod specific modul in care desenul serveste ca fir vital care leaga intreaga arta a lui Picasso, la fel cum leaga si lumea sa privata de publicul sau personalitate de care devenea din ce in ce mai constient in anii sai de mai tarziu. Picasso si Arta desenului arata in cele din urma modul in care baza stilului artistului titular de pictor, sculptor, tipograf si designer a fost realizata in mod evident prin desen.
