    The most detailed biography of Picasso

    Interviews and notes

    Richardson’s fascination with Picasso dates back to his teenage years, when he tried to persuade his mother to lend him £50 to buy a print by the artist. Later on, from the 1950s onwards, Richardson coincided with Picasso when they were both living in the south of France and remained close to him for years. Intending to write a biography, Richardson kept a diary of his meetings with Picasso and after the artist’s death his widow Jacqueline Roque agreed to collaborate with the author by allowing him access to the archives and documents she held. Richardson performed a mammoth task; he compiled and organised abundant documented details about the artist’s life with great narrative skill while also providing well-founded interpretations that give an insight into moments and situations. The result is the four volumes that make up A Life of Picasso: The Prodigy, 1881−1906 (vol. 1), 1991; The Cubist Rebel, 1907−1916 (vol. 2)

    Picasso: Engravings and Ceramics From The House of His Birth

    Closed in an interior, which is also associated with the women depicted in the harem under the influence of Delacroix, now their number has dropped to two and in an isolated, naked, closed room, these women take their share from the defeat of surrealism in this episode and are condemned to the transformation, whose definition is found in Picasso's repeated words by Françoise Gilot: “Ah! Of course, you don't understand that these women are not just put there like a bored model. They are the prisoners of those cedars, like caged birds. I have trapped them in a situation where there are no gestures and this motif is repeated, because I am trying to capture the movement of flesh and blood through time. And I want to underline the grief created by
