Pablo Picasso always maintained a complex and intense relationship
with photography and with the photographers in his milieu,
something that could be seen when he pretended to be a reporter one
summer, when he used his image as an icon, or when he took inspired
and playful self-portraits. This book, which is also the catalogue
of the exhibition of the same name at the Museu Picasso of
Barcelona, immerses the reader in the universe of Picasso through
photography and brings together images that explore all the facets
of a creator who is simultaneously the author, model, witness and
viewer of his work and life.
This book aims to show how Picasso returned to a Barcelona in 1917
after many years in Paris, where he encountered a rich cultural
scene, a city unlike the one he had left. This book intends to
examine the nature of Picasso's relationships with the local
artists on his return to Barcelona, the tourist outings he went on,
the things he did in his spare time, and his artistic output during
this period, which was particularly prolific. In this interlude in
Barcelona, far from the oppressive climate in Paris, a city then at
war, and from his Cubist circles, Picasso was able to work freely,
searching for new forms of expression. This was a moment of
stylistic transition in Picasso's uvre that would continue in the
years immediately afterwards, when classical sources alternated
totally freely with the achievements of Cubism.
