Book Overview
In 1900, eighteen-year-old Pablo Picasso journeyed from Barcelona to Paris, the glittering capital of the art world. For the next several years he toiled in poverty and obscurity before his breakthrough masterpiece, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, catapulted him to fame and to becoming the most influential artist of the twentieth century. Picasso and the Painting That Shocked the World is the story of how Picasso became Picasso. Inspired by the groundbreaking painting of Paul C?zanne and the startling inventions of African sculpture, Picasso began his masterpiece in 1907. The painting, which captured the disorienting, heady experience of the modem age, proved so controversial that even his friends assumed he'd gone mad. But over the months and years its power only grew. Today it is considered a seminal work in the history of art, a painting that changed the way we look at the world. Book jacket.
