Picasso and the art of drawing

In this generously illustrated and lively book, Christopher Lloyd sets out and interprets the lifelong achievement of Picasso as a draughtsman. Although there have been many publications about his drawing that have tended to focus on particular periods of his career, this volume specifically examines how drawing serves as the vital thread connecting all of Picasso’s art, just as it also links his private world with his public persona of which he was increasingly aware in his later years. Picasso and the Art of Drawing ultimately showcases how the basis of the artist’s style as painter, sculptor, printmaker and designer was manifestly achieved through drawing.
