Life with Picasso
Customer Review: A wonderful insight into real life with Picasso
This book follows the decade or so that Francoise Gilot and Picasso were lovers, and covers their day-to-day lives, their discussions on art, their friends (Matisse, Gertrude Stein, Braque etc) and their children (Paloma and Claude). It’s a wonderful biography, beautifully written and very evocative. You admire Francoise for sticking with Picasso for so long and are amazed at the genius that he was.
A great read whether or not you are interested in Picasso and his art.

Customer Review: Best Overview of Similarities in Creative Lives
Many have written about creativity, but few have considered creativity in the context of a cognitive model. Professor Gardner has added greatly to my understanding of what creative people’s lives are like, by focusing on people from a variety of fields (from politics, to dance, to music, to physics, to poetry).
A key lesson for me was that creativity can cause problems for the creative person. Having seen some of the bad habits outlined in this book, we can each see how we can become more creative and also avoid some of the pitfalls. Clearly, creativity can become an obsession, since it turns out to be so pleasurable to creative people. Creative people would clearly benefit from a series of questions that prompt them into considering the relevance and approriateness of their lives. I especially liked how Professor Gardner suggested what additional research should be done. I hope someone is working on these questions, now.
I am a business person, and did not expect to learn much that would help in business. I was happily surprised to find that I did. An important lesson is that creative people need the right kind of emotional and social support in order to be most effective in not only creating more, but also in making their creations more useful for us all. I also recommend CREATIVITY IN CONTEXT and CORPORATE CREATIVITY, as good books for business people to read on the subject of creativity.
But having read many dozens of books on creativity, I still recommend that you start with this one.
Customer Review: An interesting book examining the creative process.
I found this book to be a very interesting read. As a public educator, I a enjoy books that take me out of the framework or box that I view the learning process. Creative Minds made me examine and understand the creative process over a span of a lifetime and mentally note the types of blockers in the early lives of these extraordinary individuals. The book also emphasized for me the differing intelligences in the human race and the conditions necessary for creative breakthroughs. Creating Minds is an excellent reflective read for public educators

Customer Review: A Fan Explains His Hero
Where does genius come from? What are the motives? What are the stars that guide?
Picasso was arguably the most original and influential artist of the 20th century. In volume one of four planned volumes (three of which have been produced to date), John Richardson collaborates with Marilyn McCully to establish the detailed record of how Picasso developed as a man and an artist through the early Rose period. The book is made richer by Richardson’s friendship with the artist and his access to Picasso’s memories of key events. But he doesn’t slavishly accept Picasso’s version (except in damning Matisse as inferior to Picasso) but rather checks out the different versions and picks what seems to make the most sense.
Picasso’s fanatic desire to succeed was fueled in part by his contempt for his father’s failed career as an artist and his father’s views that Picasso should follow in his footsteps. Picasso also needed to be treated as special, more than most of us. Groveling before exploitive dealers built a lifelong passion to be in charge. Picasso also knew that Paris was where he had to shine and suffered greatly to make his success there. His struggles will impress you.
Where the book is unequaled in my experience is in tracking down the sources of Picasso’s images, gestures, styles, and innovations. The book is filled with black and white images from the works of other artists, Picasso’s notebooks, photographs of the scenes and subjects, and related works that Picasso did. From these, you get a better sense of Picasso as a synthesizer of styles and modes.
In closely examining Picasso’s work from these years, it’s easy to develop superficial impressions of what sort of man did those paintings. For instance, the paintings of women show someone who feels compelled to alternately adore and dominate women . . . especially sexually. Learning later that he locked his mistress into the studio even on the hottest days when he left adds to that impression.
The book provides other powerful insights of this sort by relating the heavy use of opium by Picasso and his circle of artist friends during the Blue period. A lot of the models seem stoned in those paintings. Could it be that they were? Picasso loved to paint the circus performers and one of his first mistresses was one. Could it be that those performers are really emotional self-portraits? The book isn’t clear on that point, but the possibility of the interpretation will occur to you.
A few central mysteries are left undeveloped. Why did Picasso stick so long with styles that he later abandoned and which didn’t sell well when he was very poor? Picasso admitted to Richardson that the Blue and Rose periods had been mistakes. Why did Picasso slow down his production at times when he had contracts and shows upcoming? How did Picasso incorporate his love for poetry into his paintings?
At times Richardson is over the top in his fawning. Here’s an example. Picasso is described as clearly one of the great poets of the 20th century, but Richardson doesn’t reveal any evidence . . . nor was Picasso doing any poetry writing at the time of this volume. I suspect that the fawning was the price of admission for his access which rewards us in other ways.
Ultimately, the book’s main weakness is that the images are not in color. Fortunately, color is less important to Picasso’s work during this period than in later periods. Perhaps there will be another edition at some point that will bring the full dimensions of the work to bear at least for the masterpieces.
Enjoy your immersion in Picasso’s chaotic world.

Portrait of Picasso As a Young Man: An Interpretive Biography
Customer Review: I didn’t regret!
It’s a very good book on Picasso. You get to know the time he lived in, the artists he knew, the facts that pulled his work in this or that direction. It’s not a biography of his live but a biography of his work, that was obviously influenced by facts of his live. You get the know the pulsions that made him start a new phase and see his work progress - you see him strugle to get where he always wanted to, through his art. Mailer’s inteligence and sensitiveness is at his top. Makes you learn about life, art and Picasso. His special care for Fernande, one of Picasso’s lovers, is charming. She knew Picasso well… and there are several extracts from her personal diary, which are nice literature and acurate descriptions. One book to read over and over again…
Customer Review: Once upon a time, and a very good time it was..apparently…
My significant introduction to Picasso was through the work of Joseph Campbell. J.C. praised P. highly, perceiving strongly delineated mythological themes throughout P.’s work.
This book will not provide any exposition of these themes for you…
Mailer starts off in grand style by relating that P. was stillborn, and it was his deliverybed-side uncle who animated the infant by a puff of cigar smoke blown directly into the boy’s face. Perhaps this acrid first breath accounts for the child’s subsequent exceptional view of the world, Mailer suggests…
Mailer’s writing is very crisp and clean. P.’s personal details are juxtaposed throughout with contemporaneous artistic influences & developments, which helps to acquire a sense of the personality behind the visions…
Also, there are numerous colour plates (blue period and cubism), and raunchy cartoons (woman has sex with squid, par example). These substantially assist a rather lyrical, if well-organized and insightful, presentation which does tend to hover dangerously close to the banal, despite these virtues.
Particularly enjoyable for the modest wealth of photographs, perceptive descriptions of Picasso’s cronies and their views on his work, (including Gertrude Stein - “the high priestess of high colonic”, a la Mailer), and blow-by-blow acounts of the hard times suffered and (numerous) racy personal details, but very likely not a book one will pick up again and again…

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: The ultimate guide to Bohemia and the city
I bought this book in a place in Paris which all wanna-be bohemians make a beeline for, the legendary bookstore Shakespeare & Co. Here, in this building which has been the haunt of bohemians for over a hundred years, I found the book which, I believe, is the ultimate guide to Bohemian Paris; the places, the people, the ethos, the relationships, and the art.
We travel through the early days in Montmartre, where we encounter the young Picasso living in the Bateau Lavoir, surrounded by fellow painters, and friends, such as the poet Max Jacob, to the ’second birth’ of bohemian Paris across the Seine in Montparnasse.
What really makes this book special is how it removes itself from the dry, soul-less recounting of dates and events, that many books on a historical subject revert to. Franck manages this by infusing the text with interlocking stories of the relationships between the various inhabitants of this almost mythical world. Some of these tales are funny, some bizare, and many tragic. A winning combination, that perfectly captures the very spirit of Bohemianism.

Customer Review: Touching story of art and how Picasso helped a little girl
I read this on my honeymoon when I found it in a little shop at the shop in the Picasso museum in Barcelona. Its fantastic - a very touching story of how Picasso made a little girl feel special and helped her to grow up.
At the same time, it explores Picassos art and explains how his work developed over time, from his Blue period to Abstractism.
A great way to introduce children to the world of art and ideas - and part of a great series by Laurence Anholt.
Thoroughly enjoyable for adults and children.

Customer Review: Fascinating story of a masterpiece
As all the reviews have said, this is a fascinating story of a masterpiece. The Spanish Civil War and Picasso’s life are well explainedto put the story of the painting itself into both contexts.
I’ll justadd that the book is let down by a lack of illustrations (the only one isof the painting itself), and by the lack of an index.
Customer Review: Flawed masterpiece
As ‘Guernica’ was the painting that introduced me to the works of Picasso, I was really looking forward to this book.
And it’s a convincing tale well told - with such a work of art (still) inextricably linked to international politics and war (both world and civil) Russell Martin does a competent job of placing the work into the necessary socio-political context.
The illustrations don’t do the painting justice - but how can you adequately illustrate Guernica in a small book anyway? Even weighty art books about the painting stuggle with this.
It’s a history of ‘Guernica’ as symbolic art rather than an analysis of the painting per se, whereas some fans may want to know more about the creative processes behind the production of the painting.
More ‘art’ and a larger format may have made this a great book, but as it stands it’s certainly a good book about the trials and tribulations of a great painting.

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!

Picasso’s Paris: Walking Tours of the Artist’s Life in the City
Picasso may have arrived from Spain ill-suited to Parisian life but he and the city developed an affair that continues to this day. It is with this in mind that author Ellen Williams sets out four walking tours in her small but exquisitely detailed Picasso’s Paris. The tours, two on the Left Bank and two on the Right Bank, give enough insight into the man, his art and his friends that the walk itself is just a bonus.
Williams, a former art editor of Vogue and executive editor of TheJournal of Art, is adept at placing Picasso in the context of his contemporaries and the artists before him such as Renoir, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec. She also calls on expertise developed in writing an earlier walking guide, The Impressionists’ Paris, a tour of artists’ studios and subjects. The book is full of thumbnail art reproductions but the more interesting illustrations are the archival photographs of Picasso and his companions in the Montmartre and Montparnasse of the early 1900s. Sadly, many of the scenes have changed dramatically. For example, the Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre, “which was said to smell of ‘dog and paint’” and “quickly became the rendezvous for the growing collection of friends and admirers” was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in the 1970s. Still, Williams ably recreates the illusion of the life and the interiors of the famed artist’s habitats even when the buildings no longer exist.
Unlike many walking tours, Williams reveals rather than tells programatically. To aid the illusion, Williams recommends neighbourhood period cafes and restaurants along each route, with simple maps and brief walking directions. The cloth-binding and layout in this hardbound gem make this a worthy gift choice.–Kathleen Buckley

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.

I bought this book for my wife, a Dachshund lover, who already has “Lump: The Dog Who Ate A Picasso” by the same author. I presumed that “A Dachshund’s Odyssey” would be a follow-up, but it is not; apart from the slightly different dust jackets, these two books are IDENTICAL. And Amazon have the nerve to be offering the two together at a special price!
If you don’t already have either of these books and you like Daxies or are interested in Picasso, then it probably rates three stars. If you already have one of these titles, for goodness sake don’t buy the other.
