5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction At A Great Price., 3 Nov 2003
This review is from: Picasso (Basic Art Album) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent introduction to the life and work of Picasso. It is about half text and half illustrations. The text is accessible and easy for someone with a casual interest in art to follow. The main text is a cronological account of Picasso's work. This is interspersed with shorter sections focusing on specific subjects (e.g. his sculpture and his posters).

Readers interested in a detailed and rigorous academic analysis will prefer a more comprehensive book, but for people looking for an accessible introduction it can't be beaten, particularly given the low price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, 16 Feb 2008
By Benjamin (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Picasso: v. 1 (Jumbo) (Hardcover)
(A review of the papeback editon)

The two volume book is arranged in seventeen chapters concluding with a considerable Chronology illustrated with numerous black and white pictures, mostly photographs with many of the artist, Notes, a Bibliography which includes exhibition catalogues, and a rather brief (one page) Index of Names.

The opening Chapter reminds us of the stature of the man, and of his prodigious output; briefly summarising his career. The subsequent Chapters chronicle Picasso's progress starting with his childhood efforts, through the Blue and Rose Periods, Cubism, "Guernica" to mention just a few and concluding with "The Legend of the Artist". It is intelligently written, accessible and makes very interesting reading. The illustrations run with the text and are usually within a page or two of the relevant reference.

Produced in two paperback volumes in a cardboard slipcase Taschen's 25 anniversary edition is an impressive effort. It is superbly illustrated throughout with approaching 1,500 images mainly in colour but with a few back and white (usually drawings or photographs). The smallest pictures are just thumbnails, the largest full page and the occasional double page spread, with every size between; but there are plenty of good sized pictures with whole sections of colour plates, it certainly makes an impressive array. Overall the pictures far outweigh the text.

At such good value for money it is hard to be critical of this two volume set, but I fear I have two concerns. Firstly the Index seems wholly inadequate, an Index of Names which amounts to one page; finding a particular painting or anything else might prove difficult. Secondly, while the two volumes come protected in a slipcase, the card covers (paperback edition) to the individual volumes feel very slight; with each approaching 400 pages one feels one has to handle them with great care for fear of damaging the binding. It is however a very worthwhile set, one would be hard pressed to find so many reproductions of Picasso's work elsewhere for the money,
and would not hesitate to recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must Have' book for Picasso lovers., 13 Mar 2006
This review is from: Pablo Picasso 1881-1973: Genius of the Century (Paperback)
A must have for anyone really. Lovely cover, big print, easy to get around and absorb. Educational for those who are not familiar with his work. Now a classic really for it refers to last rather than this century.
