The Sculptures of Picasso: Photographys By Brassai Details
This luxurious publication presents the sculptures of Picasso photographed by Brassai, one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. Includes an insightful text written for this work in 1948 by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, a major Picasso art dealer. Brassai met Picasso in 1932 when he was commissioned to take a series of pictures of the artist's studio; between 1932 and 1946, Brassai photographed all of Picasso's sculpted works. This long-term working relationship led to a fruitful exchange between the two artists on the respective nature of photography and sculpture, which is reflected in this volume.
Reviews
This book is simply beautiful and amazing. It is hard cover with the book being held inside. The book is tied in three places with ribbon. It's so very special just the opening of it all. It's a large book with ALL Black and White images of Picasso's sculptures. But oh, the photography! The images are HUGE, you are right up, close and personal to all of the pieces featured, and can see every nook and cranny, and even sometimes his fingerprints.This book is truly a collectible item, just to have, to hold and to treasure. Many of the works are early, most of which I have never come across before.
