Picasso at the Lapin Agile and Other Plays
Customer Review: a simple comedic masterpiece.
being a fan of steve martin’s bare faced, honest, goofy humour, i was happily surprised to read the gem that is ’shopgirl’, a sweet tale of ordinary people in ordinary lives finding each other out of the ordinary. if you’ve read that book, and if not, i highly recommend that you do, and noted martin’s knack for observing the mundane in a multicoloured and somewhat neurotic light, then this collection of plays of bizarre scenes will delight you. an unpretentious set of pieces that will come to life inside your head and truly make you laugh. hilarious characters in almost normal situations, somehow their outlandish attitudes and behaviours are so familiarly human.
subtly satirical and, quite simply, very very funny. a must for anyone who enjoys real comedy

Matisse and Picasso
Customer Review: manifique
It was a birthday present to me, and it has to be the best book i’ve read on two fabulous artists. Loads of illustrations to compare the two artists work showing how they competed against each other. All in all a fabulous and well illustrated book.

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.
