First published in 1924, Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion
desesperada remains among Pablo Neruda's most popular work.
Daringly metaphorical and sensuous, this collection juxtaposes
youthful passion with the desolation of grief. Drawn from the
poet's most intimate and personal associations, the poems combine
eroticism and the natural world with the influence of expressionism
and the genius of a master poet. This edition features the newly
corrected original Spanish text, with masterly English translations
by award-winning poet W. S. Merwin on facing pages.Includes twelve

Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein. Few can be said to have had as
broad an impact on European art in the twentieth century as these
two cultural giants. Pablo Picasso, a pioneering visual artist,
created a prolific and widely influential body of work. Gertrude
Stein, an intellectual tastemaker, hosted the leading salon for
artists and writers between the wars in her Paris apartment,
welcoming Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, and Ezra Pound to weekly
events at her home to discuss art and literature. It comes as no
surprise, then, that Picasso and Stein were fast friends and
frequent confidantes. Through Picasso and Stein's casual notes and
reflective letters, this volume of correspondence between the two
captures Paris both in the golden age of the early twentieth
century and in one of its darkest hours, the Nazi occupation
through mentions of dinner parties, lovers, work, and the crises of
the two world wars. Illustrated with photographs and postcards, as
well as drawings and paintings by Picasso, this collection captures
an exhilarating period in European culture through the minds of two
artistic greats.

Tardieu's poetry has an almost childlike simplicity, and in France
his work is studied both in universities and schools. He addresses
problems of experience and language central to modern literature,
bringing lively wit and humor to bear upon an anguished
interrogation of the world. Tardieu was born in 1903, and this
selection spans seventy years of his writing. In his early years
the difficulties of writing lyric poetry in a schizophrenic age led
him to a multiplication of poetic voices, and so to working for the
stage, where he was writing what was subsequently dubbed 'Theatre
of the Absurd' before Beckett's or Ionesco's plays had ever been
performed in public.

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 spectacular volume, co-published with the Centro Botin,
collects the works shown in the Picasso Ibero exhibition, where the
relationship of the genius from Malaga to Iberian art is analyzed.
The artist probably came into contact with the Iberian universe
when he was still living between Madrid and Barcelona, but it was
during his visits to the Louvre Museum in Paris that this encounter
came to life. The book splendidly shows this fertile relationship,
comparing works by Picasso with Iberian pieces from the Louvre and
the main Spanish archaeological museums, to form an intense and
beautiful artistic dialogue.
In the 1940s, Picasso wrote two plays in French: the first, Desire
Caught by the Tail, was conceived during the German occupation of Paris
and features a cast of grotesque allegorical characters such as the
Onion, Silence or Fat Anxiety discussing the crucial wartime themes of
hunger, cold and love; the second, The Four Little Girls, came about a
few years after the end of the war on the French Riviera, and presents
the stream-of-consciousness thoughts of four unnamed girls in a
vegetable garden, revealing an unexpectedly evil aspect of childhood.
These surreal compositions, which were meant to be read aloud rather
than formally staged, are a testament to the great artist's imaginative
powers, and have been considered as forerunners to the theatre of the
absurd of the 1950s, as exemplified by Beckett, Ionesco and Adamov.
This volume also contains the accompanying illustrations by Picasso
himself.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The 101 Pages series has been created with the aim of
redefining and enriching the classics canon by promoting unjustly
neglected works of enduring significance. These texts have been treated
with a fresh editorial approach, and are presented in an elegantly
designed format.
At the age of 81, Yvon Lambert is one of the most influential
collectors of our time. He was only 14 years old when he used his
pocket money to buy his first work of art. In 1966, he opened his
own gallery in Paris, which soon became a top venue for
contemporary art. It was Lambert who introduced the minimal art,
land art and conceptual art movements to a wider European audience
at a time when they were still relatively new. Besides his work as
an art dealer, Lambert has spent the past fifty years creating one
of the most prominent collections of contemporary art. In 2011, he
donated more than 600 of his works to the French state, which are
now on display in a specially dedicated museum in Avignon. In the
context of the art project Skulptur Projekte Munster 2017, the
Pablo Picasso Art Museum in Munster brings the Lambert Collection
to Germany for the first time. In particular, the exhibition
features works of artists who have been part of the Skulptur
Projekte programme since its early years. Some of their works
include installations that still exist in the city today.
Additional Authors Include Henry Brant, Julian Levi, Frederick
Fennell And Others. Edited By Minna Lederman, Frani Muser, And

Between 1917 and 1962, Pablo Picasso was involved in creating the
designs for nine ballets including 'Parade', 'Pulcinella' and
'L'Apres-midi d'un Faune', in collaboration with such artists as
Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Leonide
Massine and Vaslav Nijinsky. Picasso, a native of Andalusia, also
created the sets and costumes for the very Spanish ballet, 'Le
Tricorne' ('The Three-Cornered Hat'). This release features the
entire ballet along with a documentary which traces the story of
Picasso's involvement with designs for ballet.
