Pablo Picasso. Una vita per l’arte

The monograph, entrusted to a specialist in the field, recounts the life and artistic work of Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century whose works ineluctably revolutionized the language of art.

A comprehensive excursus dedicated to the artist, documenting his life, passions and, above all, the different moments of his career punctuated by the relevant stylistic stages: the blue period, the pink (or circus) period Cubism and the later formal research that, ranging from painting to graphic arts, from ceramics to sculpture, make Picasso one of the greatest experimenters of all time.

An extensive and rich iconographic apparatus allows the reader to immerse himself in the colors, tones, and forms of an art capable of emotion, thus restoring the complexity of the work of one of the most beloved artists of all time.
