- Seller's Description:
- Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 9x0x11; 2006 Prestel (Munich, Germany), 9 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches tall hardcover in pub lisher's unclipped dust jacket, grey paper-covered boards, blind embossed lettering to spine, grey endpapers, copiously illustrated with black-and-white and full color photographs, 149, [2] pp. Very slight rubbing to covers, with the tiniest bit of bumping to the lower spine cap. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy-clean, bright and unmarked. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~SP09~ [4.0P] Picasso's unique non-western art collection, now largely the property of the Picasso family, is presented here for the first time. This book provides a full documentation of Picasso's African, Melanesian, Polynesian, and Indonesian works, as well as an ethnographical description of each object. The interpretation of the collection as a whole, its physiognomy and poetry, sheds new light on the fascination non-western art held for the twentieth century's most important artist. For the first time, all Africa-related activities in Picasso's life, including correspondence with friends, writers, and art dealers, are presented in a coherent timeline. 'Picasso and the African Experience: A Chronology, ' simultaneously a reference for future interpretations on Picasso's oeuvre, documents the deep, personal involvement of the artist with African and Oceanic art and culture.
