5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Unusual Biography Ever?, 17 Sep 2006
One of the most engaging, stylistically intriguing and honest books I've ever read. Stein's writing is impatient, brusque, passionate and scarily insightful. She offers a real sense of Picasso - the man and the artist - as well as of Gertrude Stein herself. It also provides a tantalising glimpse into the wonderful, romantic life enjoyed by writers, artists and their cronies in early twentieth century Paris. Brilliant. If you care at all about art; life; Picasso; the notion of genius; Paris; indeed, creative or intellectual pursuits of any kind, then your life will be slightly less if you fail to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visual Picasso, 2 Mar 2009
By Gavin J. Mcdonald - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book for the art critic who likes to see images alongside the text. Gertrude Stein was well-placed to make an authorative assessment of Picasso and she writes with passion. Her comments upon the nature of genius are a little sweeping at times but this book is still extremely interesting.
