Les Papiers De Picasso

In this book, Rosalind Krauss, professor at Columbia University, reveals Picasso as an anxious human being because of the weight of his status as creative genius. She appeals to psychoanalyse to understand the testimonies of his close relatives, wives and friends, and also analyses Picasso's relationships with his contemporaries, notably Apollinaire, Cocteau or Picabia. Relying on linguistics and semiology, the author analyses Cubist collages and newspaper cuttings chose by the artist.
