Summary:
"When
Picasso
became
Picasso
: the story of how an obscure young painter came to Paris and made himself into the most influential artist of the twentieth century. In 1900, eighteen-year-old Pablo
Picasso
journeyed from Barcelona to Paris, the glittering capital of the art
world
. For the next several years he endured poverty and neglect before emerging as the leader of a bohemian band of painters, sculptors, and poets. Here he met his first true love and enjoyed his first taste of fame. Decades later
Picasso
would look back on these years as the happiest of his long life. Recognition came first from the avant-garde, then from daring collectors like Leo and Gertrude Stein. In 1907,
Picasso
began the vast, disturbing masterpiece known as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Inspired by the groundbreaking
painting
of Paul Cézanne and the startling inventions of African and tribal sculpture,
Picasso
created a work that captured the disorienting experience of modernity itself. The
painting
proved so shocking that even his friends assumed he'd gone mad, but over the months and years it exerted an ever greater fascination on the most advanced painters and sculptors, ultimately laying the foundation foe the most innovative century in the history of art. This is the story of an artistic genius with a singular creative gift. It is filled with heartbreak and triumph, despair and delirium, all of it played out against the backdrop of the
world
's most captivating city."--Dust jacket.
