   At the height of his powers, Pablo Picasso was the artist as revolutionary, breaking through the niceties of form in order to mount a direct challenge to the values of his time. At the height of his fame, he was the artist as royalty: incalculably wealthy, universally idolized−and wholly isolated.   In this stunning critical assessment, John Berger−one of this century's most insightful cultural historians−trains his penetrating gaze upon this most prodigious and enigmatic painter and on the Spanish landscape and very particular culture that shpaed his life and work. Writing with a novelist's sensuous evocation of character and detail, and drawing on an erudition that embraces history, politics, and art, Berger follows Picasso from his childhood in Malaga to the Blue Period and Cubism, from the creation of Guernica to the pained etchings of his final years. He gives us the full measure of Picasso's triumphs and an unsparing reckoning of their cost−in exile, in loneliness, and in a desolation that drove him, in his last works, into an old man's furious and desperate frenzy at the beauty of what he could no longer create.

Special Edition The Success and Failure of Picasso (Vintage International) with Free EASY Reading!

Berger considers the effects of what it may have meant to have grown up as a child prodigy, what effect the turn-of-the-century Spanish milieu the young Picasso brought with him when he encountered and assimilated to Paris, and Picasso's brief period of connection and collaboration with other avant-garde artists, while Cubism was being developed. But what was most helpful to me was Berger's discussion around how Picasso can be understood as a usually isolated artist who had a style, or even, who had several, without having a topic -- how Picasso might be seen, by and large, as an artist in search of subject matter. This problem rang a lot of bells ... Reading Berger has always helped me (and many others of course!) 'see' things in new 'ways' (I suppose this is what John Berger's famous for). This book was not received well when it was published during the sixties, but perhaps now we are less star-struck and past the hero-worship, ready to evaluate both Picasso's short-falls, together with his contributions. Beautifully written ...
