Description: The first book dedicated to Picasso's self - portraits many held in private collections and published here for the first time. Much has been said and written about Picasso's life and art but until now his self - portraits have never been studied and presented in a single book perhaps because the artist always left many doubts about his work. However there is no doubt that Picasso represented himself ceaselessly whether in a dashed - off pencil sketch as a flourish at the bottom of a letter or on a giant canvas. At the suggestion of Picasso's widow Jacqueline the distinguished art historian Pascal Bonafoux began researching Picasso's self - portraits more than forty years ago. This meticulously researched book presents the fruits of his decades - long project. From the first attributed painting in 1894 as a thirteen - year - old boy until Picasso's final self - portrait in 1972, a year before his death Bonafoux charts the evolution of the artist's life and art. Here is Picasso as a student; as a young bohemian; an impetuous artist in Paris; as harlequin; as lover husband and father; and finally as an old man confronting his mortality. The book comprises about 170 drawings paintings and photographs some from private collections and previously unpublished bringing together for the first time the attributed self - portraits of this genius of 20th - century art.
