"Picasso" conta a história de uma grande e longa aventura: a vida do brilhante pintor espanhol, Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973). O leitor acompanha a construção da valiosa reputação de Picasso, as grandes personalidades que passaram por sua vida, tais como Gertrude Stein – retratada pelo criador do cubismo em emblemático quadro –, Guillaume Apollinaire e Max Jacob. Esta biografia segue o ritmo pulsante que a vida do artista adquire rapidamente e mostra a liberdade que ele cultivava, tanto no dia-a-dia, quanto na pintura, e, acima de tudo, no amor.

Twenty centuries of revolution, artistic genius, and daily toil have forged Paris as we know it today. To experience the richness of this much-loved city is to understand its history, its cultural heritage, and the palpable energy that has tome to define it. The specialist authors of this exquisite volume, all Parisians by birth or inclination, offer personal insights into all facets of their City : from Paris's turbulent and bloody history and the gritty reality of medieval life on its streets, to the magnificent architectural plans of kings and emperors, daring urbanists, and modern architects. Paris is a celebration of the capital's cultural riches - from sculpture and painting to literature and cinema - and the ambiance and savoir faire of this elegant city. The wonderfully original illustrations throughout capture the essence of Paris. From behind-the-scenes at the Louvre to smoky jazz clubs, and from battles in barricaded streets to the sinuous vindings of the Seine, this book is the ultimate indulgence in the insatiable love affair that is Paris.
