Reviews
This is a picture book. Of the 123 pages, 2/3 are pictures. You can see the same ones in better detail on Google.The few words repeat the same information. It's as though the author took 4 or 5 short articles and plopped them in. References in the text to find pictures in the book are often incorrect, suggesting this edition was hastily adapted from another volume with little or no editing.If you are looking for a serious look at Picasso's life and work (something like David McCullough would write) (which I was), this isn't it.Unless you're related to the author, I can't think of a good reason to buy this work.
