Synopsis:
In Picasso and Portraiture, the hundreds of works reproduced illustrate the multiple solutions Picasso invented to solve the "problem" of the modernist portrait. This book opens with an authoritative essay by William Rubin, Director Emeritus of The Museum of Modern Art's Department of Painting and Sculpture; the eight essays that follow--all by contemporary critics--examine different periods and aspects of Picasso's career and clarify personal relationships between him and his subjects. Numerous outstanding photographs, some never before published and many by outstanding photographers, present the portrait subjects as seen through the eye of the camera.
