Picasso's Mask

Pablo Picasso, André Malraux, June Guinarchaud, Jacques Guinarchaud

description

"Following Pablo Picasso's death in 1973, André Malraux was summoned by Jacqueline Picasso, the artist's widow, to her home at Mougins in the South of France. There, surrounded by Picasso's powerful last paintings 'painted face to face with death,' and his art collections destined for the Louvre, Malraux recollected Picasso's rebellious life and the metamorphosis of his art. In Picasso's Mask, Malraux's memories, at once personal and historical, evoke Picasso as a private man and as a legendary artistic genius. [...] Malraux knew Picasso well, and here recollects a number of his conversations with the painter. In rich, evocative, and memory-filled prose, he has written an inspiring and moving reminiscence. Picasso's Mask is one of the most profound works in Malraux's remarkable oeuvre." -- from back wrapper. Translated and annoted by June and Jacques Guinarchaud. Printed in black-and-white.
