«Picasso» is the biography of the painter Pablo Picasso written by Pierre Daix, published by Hachette Littérature in the Pluriel collection (2009, in French).
Pierre Daix, who knew the artist personally, reconstructs his life and work from the painter's archives. The book offers revelations about Picasso's childhood and details such as his application for French nationality in 1940, and shows the decisive role of sculpture in his painting. Daix also emphasises the protean nature of a creation that, in Picasso's own words, sought to «raise everything to the level of art».
Recommended for readers interested in biography and twentieth-century art, as well as for those wishing to delve deeper into the figure of Picasso from a documented perspective.
Pierre Georges Daix was a French journalist, writer and art historian. He was a friend and biographer of Pablo Picasso.
