Customer Review: Picasso - A true work of art
Firstly, this isn’t Iron Maiden. If your looking for anything even remotely close to Englands finest then check out ‘Accident of Birth’ or ‘Chemical Wedding’. If, on the other hand, your willing to take a little risk and experiment a little then check out this little gem, and for my cash, Bruce Dickinsons’ finest solo effort. I didn’t fully appreciate this album on first listen, it wasn’t until i saw the tour that backed this album that my ears and eyes opened up and i have never had any regrets. It’s an interesting exploration of various styles of rock music by a vocalist, who, let’s be honest, at that time wasn’t sure if this whole solo project was even going to work. He took a risk, and i urge you to do the same. From the best song you never heard on your radio in ‘Shoot all the Clowns’, to the social observations of ‘Sacred Cowboys’, into the soft, mellow tones of ‘Change of Heart’ to the anthemic and Bruce’s best solo effort of ‘Tears of the Dragon’ this album is so well constructed - it carries you along on a musical journey. From the opening chords of the examination of modern day media intrusion that is ‘Cyclops’, through a more rock vane of ‘1000 Points of Light’ to the Alex Dickinson (Bruces’ son) inspired ‘Laughing in the Hiding Bush’ this is Bruce at his songwritting best and sounding awesome. Buy it - buy it now - and buy it’s twin brother ‘Alive in Studio A’ - and don’t blame me if you suddenly realise that, with this gem nearly a decade old, you’ve been missing out big time.
Customer Review: Excellent album, but with a few weak tracks.
The opening song, Cyclops, is magnificent in every respect. Over seven minutes of pure unadulterated rock. A masterstroke to open the album with. Change of Heart, is also a fantastic song. But certainly not typical of Maiden’s stuff… definitly something that Bruce has thought he can pull off without them. And did he just. Makes you wonder really why he doesn’t write more like this for the Irons? A song of pure class. Tears of the Dragon, is easily the best song on the album and possibly Bruce’s finest ever, ranking easily alongside ‘Bring your daughter… to the Slaughter’. This is a completely different kind of track and probably more universally appealing. But if you are hard rock only don’t let that put you off. This album isn’t hard rock. Bruce avoided that until his ‘Chemical Wedding’ album. It is very much soft, as Bon Jovi is. The other tracks on the album are definitely listenable to, but they wn’t be the ones you’ll have playing seven times on repeat before moving on.

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.
