«Picasso, ses maîtres et ses héritiers» is the exhibition album published by Beaux Arts éditions in 2008, in hardback (173 pages, in French).
The book opens Picasso's imaginary museum and examines his relationship with the masters of the past and with his heirs. His painting is presented as a bridge between ancient and contemporary art, with references to Italian, Nordic, Spanish and French painting, to ancient art and primitive arts, as well as to his procedures of quotation, collage and recycling.
The work accompanies the exhibition «Picasso et les maîtres anciens» (Grand Palais, Louvre and Musée d'Orsay) and includes 150 image confrontations.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War. His career spanned more than 76 years, from his late teens to his death in 1973.
