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private collections and previously unpublished, bringing together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.
