Description

Nearly square folio bound in black cloth, lettered in white on spine, in publisher’s dust-jacket and slipcase. Slipcase repeats the art work from dust-jacket on front (upper) cover. 453 pages. Edited by Julia Guillamon. Translated into English by Graham Thomson and Sue Brownbridge. Includes an appendix, catalog of works and a bibliography. Profusely illustrated throughout with monochrome and color reproductions. First edition in English. In this book Palau documents over 1300 pieces of art produced during fourteen years of the artist’s career, culminating in the (commissioned) masterpiece Guernica. From the metaphorically controlled aggression of the minotaur image to the graphical depicted violence of Guernica, Palau provides a cogent and well argued theory of Picasso’s art. A pristine, like new copy. Dust-jacket, slipcase and book all appear as new. No International orders due to weight; Priority mail orders within the USA will require additional postage.
