Description
Picasso and the Art of Drawing is a richly illustrated exploration of the artist's lifelong achievement as a draftsman. This book examines how drawing served as the vital thread connecting all of Picasso's art, linking his private world with his public persona.
Through a unique lens, Christopher Lloyd reveals how the basis of Picasso's style as painter, sculptor, printmaker, and designer was manifestly achieved through drawing. The result is a fascinating insight into the artist's creative process and the enduring power of this fundamental skill.
This generously illustrated volume showcases the significance of drawing in Picasso's oeuvre, providing a fresh perspective on one of the 20th century's most influential artists.
