In this book, there are over 500 pages of Pablo Picasso’s art along with descriptions of the pieces. From paintings, prints, and sculptures, there is something for everyone.  


I have always been intrigued with his life and his work. To say he was a character is putting it mildly, and to say he was talented is an understatement. 


I hope that you will enjoy this book as much as I have and will continue to do so. Below, I have chosen a few images to share with you!

In this book, you will visit light, shape, color, and perspective, to name a few. Describing the pages of this book is almost impossible.  You have to see them and study them. I am amazed at the many textures used here and the imagination that went into each piece of art, apparel, and costumes. 


There is life in action on each page, created with personality and extreme thought. Fabric, buttons, beads, metal, and form are in each creation, and I can honestly say there is something for everyone. 


Below are several of the images I have chosen to share. I hope that you will ENJOY!
