Description

In 1901, Picasso's artistic ambitions were set ablaze by his first visit to Paris. With just over a month to produce work for an exhibition with influential modern art dealer Ambroise Vollard, the young artist poured out creative energy, producing more than 60 paintings in a short span. The canvases that emerged from this period showcase Picasso's desire to reinvent and reinterpret the styles of his artistic heroes. Tragedy struck when news of his friend Carles Casagemas' suicide reached him, an event that would profoundly impact his art throughout the year. This book offers a unique insight into one of the most pivotal moments in Picasso's life, as he navigated the city's vibrant art scene and produced some of his most innovative work.
