«Pablo Picasso. Eine Biographie» is the biography of Pablo Picasso written by Patrick O'Brian, published by Ullstein in paperback (620 pages, in German).
Patrick O'Brian, who knew Picasso personally, traces his life and work from the artist's Mediterranean roots and portrays a contradictory personality: hard and tender, generous and miserly, affectionate and cold. The book combines biographical rigour and narrative passion, and addresses his fame, his communist ideology and his sensual vitality.
The work was originally published in 1976 as «Picasso: A Biography»; this German Ullstein edition is from 1982.
For readers interested in biographies of artists, twentieth-century art and the figure of Picasso.
Patrick O'Brian, born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey–Maturin series. These sea novels are set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and centre on the friendship of the English naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician Stephen Maturin. The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative language. A partially finished 21st novel in the series was published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and typescript.
