Book Description
This is the first critical examination of Pablo Picasso's use of religious imagery and the religious import of many of his works with secular subject matter. Though Picasso was an avowed atheist, his work employs spiritual themesÑand, often, traditional religious iconography. In five engagingly written, accessible chapters, Jane Daggett Dillenberger and John Handley address Picasso's cryptic 1930 painting of the Crucifixion; the artist's early life in the Catholic church; elements of transcendence in Guernica; Picasso's later, fraught relationship with the church, which commissioned him in the 1950s to paint murals for the Temple of Peace chapel in France; and the centrality of religious themes and imagery in bullfighting, the subject of countless Picasso drawings and paintings.

Book Description
This highly luxurious publication presents the sculptures of Picasso photographed by Brassaï, one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century. An authentic text written for this work in 1948 by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, the former art dealer of Picasso, is also included. Brassaï met Picasso in 1932 when he was commissioned to take a series of pictures of the artist's studio and of some plaster sculptures done at Boisgeloup for the review Minotaure. Several years later he was again contacted to photograph Picasso's work for the first book published on the subject of the artist's sculptures. Hence, between 1932 and 1946, Brassaï photographed all of Picasso's sculpted works. This long-term working relationship led to a fruitful exchange between the two artists on the respective nature of photography and sculpture, which is reflected in this volume. The Sculptures of Picasso is an atypical vision of lesser known works by Picasso. Indeed, the medium used to depict the sculptures is nearly as unsettling as the objects themselves, and the confusion is emphasized by the contrast between flatness and fullness. An art dealer, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler became a good friend of Picasso's in 1907 when he first visited the artist's studio. Picasso actually painted a now famous portrait of Kahnweiler in 1910. 70 illustrations

Book Description
Picasso's concrete sculptures. When Pablo Picasso first learned of the Betograve Process for pouring and engraving concrete, he "jumped out of his chair as if he had sat on a pin. He wax so excited .... [His] lightning eye and intuitive intelligence instantly recognized the creative uses that he might be able to make of this new technique." Indeed, Picasso's collaboration with Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar during the next fifteen years led to a series of exuberant public sculptures in Spain, France, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Israel, and the United States (New York, Princeton, Cambridge, and Rolling Meadows, near Chicago). Picasso's Concrete Sculptures is a comprehensive history of that collaboration, from the preparation and selection of marquettes, theough all the stages of approval, to actual construction and engraving. Author Sally Fairweather is a prominent Chicago art dealer who was instrumental in the realization there of the monumental Picasso concrete sculpture, The Bather, and she subsequently undertook the prodigious task of researching and writing this first published study of the entire series of sculptures. Nearly 100 plates -- many in full color -- illustrate every one of these majestic works in its final setting, as well as showing the maquettes on which they were based, the photographs signed by Picasso to document his approval, step-by-step shots of construction in progress, and more. This volume also includes a bibliography and index and a fully documented catalogue raisonne of all the Picasso-Nesjar works in concrete, including some not yet erected. Picasso's Concrete Sculptures is an indispensable addition to the literature on this greatest of modern masters, filling an important gap in his knowledge of his oeuvre"-- Front flap.
