A beautiful album dedicated to the work of Pablo Picasso, published in the renowned “Couleurs des Maîtres” collection. With a preface by Jaime Sabartés, the artist’s close friend and secretary, the book traces the major stages of Picasso’s creative development through a selection of color reproductions that were particularly high-quality for the time.
