Success and failure of picasso

Synopsis

â â â at the height of his powers, pablo pico was the artist as revolutionary, breaking through the niceties of form in order to mount a direct challenge to the values of his time. At the height of his fame, he was the artist as incalculably wealthy, universally idolized−and wholly isolated. â â â in this stunning critical essment, john berger−one of this century's most insightful cultural historians−trains his penetrating gaze upon this most prodigious and enigmatic painter and on the spanish landscape and very particular culture that shpaed his life and work.
