This first volume of John Richardson's exceedingly detailed yet eminently readable three-volume life, takes Picasso to the age of twenty-five. Richardson's sharp eye and extensive knowledge of cultural history enable him to show how Picasso plundered the masters of the past, the imaginations of his poet friends, and the beliefs of mystics & magi to come up with a revolutionary new synthesis. The author's evocation of Picasso's ferocious ego and demonic loves & hates & deep fears is the more absorbing for his terse, lively prose and freedom from jargon, allowing him to originally make sense of Picasso's myriad contradictions.
