Text in English, German, and French. This publication sheds new light on a previously neglected aspect of Picasso's art
"An excellent volume" according to A Customer. This small book, a collection of all the posters Picasso ever produced, is a fascinating addition to any art lovers library. Picasso's embrace of the poster, which is the modern precursor of mass advertisement, seems to cement his place as one of the most important artistic figures of this century. Page after page reveals Picasso's sensitivity and creativity even towards subjects as seemingly mundane as pottery fairs. His peace posters are unrivalled in their simplicity, yet they manage to convey both the importance and the fragility inherent in any call to peace. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and am confident any art appreciator will to. Richard Kipp said Picasso poster catalogue. The book came in a light weight cardboard box and was wrapped in a thin plastic. Presumably due to mishandling and the unusual snow we had recently the book was damaged. The cover was wet and bent at the corner. I was very disappointed. Beyond that the book is full of great posters by the master.
Picasso also recieved commissions to design posters promoting disarmament and peace. From the Publisher Between 1948 and 1966, Pablo Picasso created some 70 posters. . His use of materials, modes of expression, and playful creativity are unrivaled. Most of his posters were designed for the southern French town of Vallauris, as part of advertising campaigns for various arts, crafts, and bullfights. Picasso's posters, with their suggestive colors and complexity, are unmistakably reminiscent of his more personal work, yet lose nothing of their advertising function.
