{"product_id":"looking-at-picasso","title":"Looking at Picasso","description":"\u003cp\u003eA major new survey that offers fresh insights on artworks by one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso, written by a leading authority on the master.As one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picassos (18811973) artistic achievements are unparalleled. This important new introductory monograph, released to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the artists death, presents the beauty, power, and multiplicity of Picassos work across his paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, and offers fresh analysis of the work of this great master for a twentyfirstcentury audience.Since the 1980s, most books and exhibitions on Picasso have focused on the artists personal relationships, specifically on the representation of his wives and mistresses. Art historian and curator Pepe Karmel shifts the debate by considering Picassos works first and foremost as art, explaining how the artists style has evolved over the course of seven decades, introducing visual languages and narratives that have transformed modern art.Arranged chronologically by themes and movements, Looking at Picasso is profusely illustrated with renowned paintings, such as the provocative Les Demoiselles dAvignon and the monumental war piece Guernica, as well as lesserknown works, including Picassos animal sculptures and his animated reinterpretation of Velzquezs seventeenthcentury masterpiece Las Meninas.Numerous exhibitions planned for 2023 will coincide with this important and accessible volume. 124 color illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45900634489030,"sku":"DADAX0500026041","price":53.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/91R3eoP9MXL.jpg?v=1780316052","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/looking-at-picasso","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
