Info from book: Contains 606 reproduction, 38 in color (tipped-in plates). Picasso collaborated in the production of this book. He checked the 40 full color plates for fidelity to his work. He was so taken with the so-called Classified Catalogue--in which hundreds of his works are illustrated according to type and period--that he spent many hours re-arranging and extending the coverage. He selected the painting which is reproduced on the jacket. And finally Picasso exclusively for this purpose made the designs for the covers of the book. The texts present the artist's life and work in great detail. 524 pgs. Book VG+/ DJ VG- $45.00 Keywords Reference Pablo Picasso
