Pablo Picasso: KR (Taschen Basic Art Series)

Comprehensive. Brilliant Remember to check to page count 96page one is obviously very different to this copy with its 740 pages.

Fantastic book of a fantastic artist. Large, chunky but still manageable size of book packed with sketches, drawings, and paintings all very well reproduced and very comprehensive. Taschen quality as sublime as usual. Very interesting and informative biography of the great man, divided up over various time periods and various styles. A great volume for student or devotee and well worth a place on any bookshelf. An amazing output or "outpouring" of art in so many incredible forms. Really a must, whether you love him, like him or even hate him. You simply can't ignore him. I love this book and I'm sure that you will too.

Very nice book, a little bit of usage shown but according to the price paid it is perfect. Love it

Great book for Picasso fans, looks nice on the shelf as well

This book is an excellent introduction to the life and work of Picasso. It is about half text and half illustrations. The text is accessible and easy for someone with a casual interest in art to follow. The main text is a cronological account of Picasso's work. This is interspersed with shorter sections focusing on specific subjects (e.g. his sculpture and his posters). Readers interested in a detailed and rigorous academic analysis will prefer a more comprehensive book, but for people looking for an accessible introduction it can't be beaten, particularly given the low price.

Arrived on time condition as described

Bought this book to save me taking the only copy of it out of the university library every time I was writing an essay. The book is a brilliant resource for information on Picasso with quotes from him throughout. My only issue is with the cheap quality of the binding. On first use several of the pages fell out and have had to be glued back in which has ruined the 'just bought' look of the book. Overall this is a great buy if you don't mind a low quality book and are prepared to do some repairing to keep it readable.

Great book showing many of Picasso's paintings, drawings, sculptures and a good resume of his life.

I bought this book for the images but turns out the author has reeled me in too. I’m taken through a high level Picasso timeline of how and why his style has evolved over time. I’ve always been intrigued by this artist and now his work is making more sense. I have a better appreciation of his work. Easy to read, not heavy on text. Did you know that the name Picasso is from his mother’s side, not his father, and that his father was also an artist? Perfect literature for the layman like myself. Highly recommended.

I love it. Picaso's best in colour.

This is only first impression .I have not gone through the contents. However it was a Big Big disappointment looking at the Size of the Book and the Price I paid for it . The size of the book , is merely 19 cms X 23.5 Cms X 1.1 cm ( Hard cover book ) and 96 pages .I paid the price of Rs 7490 . Though this is a book about Picasso , I felt some what cheated on the price , though it was my own decision to buy the book .Typically ,The book size and pages information is not available on Amazon records .Others , pl think twice before buying this book .

I got this beautifully produced overview of Picasso's work (as with other Taschen in this series meant as an introductory monograph) used but in perfect condition, hardcover, for $10 including shipping. Bargains like this don't come around too often!

That book is perfect. I'd gotten it before when I was in London back in the years, but I lost it. After some years, I've found it again.. I m happy. It's a collector item btw... Thanks : )
