Picasso: An Intimate Portrait

I am not able to find many reviews of this book. I purchased it after seeing it on the Tate’s site after their 2018 Picasso exhibit. The implication is that because it was written by Picasso’s grandson, there is new, intimate information about Picasso in this book. This may be true, but I find the writing discombobulated, tedious and the author imposes his opinion regularly instead of allowing the facts to speak for themselves. There are some wonderful photos, but not enough. I would not recommend purchasing this book; it is more a “check-it-out-from-the-library” book...

The book itself is fabulous, but when I opened the box, the paper cover was ripped and the edge was damaged. My husband still loves the book but I was very disappointed with the condition in which I received it...

I found this book insightful and stimulating. There is always so much new to learn about Picasso and this book by his grandson taught me a lot.
