Picasso Customer Review: The Most Unusual Biography Ever?
One of the most engaging, stylistically intriguing and honest books I’ve ever read. Stein’s writing is impatient, brusque, passionate and scarily insightful. She offers a real sense of Picasso - the man and the artist - as well as of Gertrude Stein herself. It also provides a tantalising glimpse into the wonderful, romantic life enjoyed by writers, artists and their cronies in early twentieth century Paris. Brilliant. If you care at all about art; life; Picasso; the notion of genius; Paris; indeed, creative or intellectual pursuits of any kind, then your life will be slightly less if you fail to read this book.
