| An intimate portrait of a man whose name had become synonymous with the notion of creative genius, this book traces Picasso's life from his beginnings in Spain through his many years in Paris. In it we meet his friends and lovers and witness his rise from poverty to overwhelming worldwide recognition. Who was Picasso – a public figure who lived his life in the headlines, or a private person, unpredictable and filled with secrets? Above all, he was an artist who, through constant experimentation, made an indelible mark on the 20th century.
