Paloma Picasso Minotaure Eau de Toilette Spray 125ml

The Ultimate Picasso
If you had to choose just one book about Pablo Picasso, the most protean artist of the 20th century, what would you look for? Copious, good-quality reproductions; an authoritative account of the way his approach to painting was influenced by his personality, the women in his life and his contemporaneousness with other notables; an in-depth treatment of key works–like Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (his self-proclaimed “first exorcism painting”)–and recurrent themes, like the Minotaur. Then there’s the question of tone. Some books cast Picasso as a demigod or a destroyer. Others, like art historian John Richardson’s A Life of Picasso, offer a more responsible, psychologically penetrating portrait of the artist.

Hefty, elegant, and inclusive, The Ultimate Picasso hits most of these marks. It boasts more than 1,200 reproductions spanning the artist’s entire career. Smoothly translated from the French, the it weaves biographical detail and discussions of the art into a concise narrative. Visual sources are all confidently accounted for. Yet the text does seem rather skimpy. The 16-page section on Guernica, for example, has barely two pages of actual discussion. The authors maintain their extremely tight focus on their artist, which is admirable. But in their concentration, they seem to compulsively refrain, perhaps by default, from acknowledging the external world as anything but resource or dalliance for their subject.

The authors’ hyperbolic view of their subject–”Picasso did not paint nature, but the suffering of the men and women of his time, creating from it beauty and truth”–and the lack of any real psychological insight about, for instance, the continual hazard Picasso poses to the female form, may be considered a flaw. But in this old-fashioned portrait of the male artist as genius, so certain is it of the gulf between the common and the exalted, human flaw does not exist, unless it belongs to somebody else. –Cathy Curtis

Customer Review: The Ultimate art book
This is a book “that does exactly what it says on the tin”. I particularly liked the format, which is compact and easy to handle. This is an accessible book with clear text, copiously illustrated. It contains everything you would ever want to know about Picasso and his life and art. I would highly recommend “The Ultimate Picasso”.
Customer Review: Truly the Ultimate!
This book stands out alone as a definitive reference dealing with Picasso’s working life. The text is both authoritative and comprehensive,yet gripping, in its unfolding of the thinking and creative energy that was Picasso. The greatest jewel of this wonderful work surely lies in the superb quality of the photography and printing, faithfully reproducing colour form and detail of all his major works. This book is a “must have” for people who are interested in art, but perhaps more important, in getting an insight into one of the greatest influences in the development of visual expression,thinking and communication ever.

Customer Review: Excellent Art, Science and Integration of the Two
Professor Miller’s book demonstrates an impressive knowledge across the histories of art and science, a knowledge that is sufficiently deep to allow a clarity of expression that contains some of the best writing I have seen on art history, and that is also very good on theories of physics. Miller argues strongly that Picasso’s Demoiselles was influenced, amongst other things, by ideas of Non-Euclidean Geometry and the Fourth Dimension, transmitted via the writings of Poincare and via Princet - the “mathematician in residence” of the Cubists. Whilst he paints a more detailed and convincing story of this than does Linda Henderson’s seminal work on the topic, I was personally left unconvinced that these ideas of mathematics and science were necessary components of Picasso’s startling insights. That shouldn’t detract from reading an extremely well written book, that is both very descriptive of two fields of human endeavour, and pleasingly integrative between them. I was particularly pleased by the emphasis given to the aesthetic (and anti-positivist) nature of leading scientific thought - this is a message that needs to be conveyed to those whose grasp of the meaning of science is dangerously flawed. Above all, the linking theme between Einstein and Picasso is their humanity - or perhaps their “super” humanity, their common ability to process information in astounding and breakthrough ways - this is a message that needs to be clearly transmitted and received at a time when increasing specialisation across disciplines can lead to unhelpful stereotyping, and self-fulfilling prophecy. People who know a bit about art, or physics will gain a lot of insight into the other world from this book. People who think scientists are rational calculating machines, and people who think Picasso couldn’t paint (you know who you are), should be bought this as a gift by those who know differently!

Handmade De Simone Noah’s Ark Round Platter From Italy This line was created by an Italian aristocrat turned artist, Giovanni De Simone, from Northern Sicily. De Simone studied extensively under famed artist Picasso, whose influences are evidenced by the bright colors and simple lines of his work. His designs and inspirations now live on through the work of his daughters. This collection features scenes reminiscent of Sicilian folk art, including the marketplace, wine making, and the Mediterranean Sea. No two pieces of the De Simone collection are alike, which makes each item rare and unique.
