Seller Comments:
296 pp., illus. (some col.); 25 cm. Translated from the French. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly rolled at the crown. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Fernande Olivier was the first real love in the life of Pablo Picasso, and the years she spent with the great artist, 1904 to 1912, coincide with the period of some of his most revolutionary work. Here, in her compelling and revelatory journal, published for the first time in English, Olivier vividly depicts her turbulent relationship with Picasso and, in her letters to Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and Guillaume Apollinaire, sheds new light on the Parisian art scene of the early 20th century. Loving Picasso brings Olivier's memoirs to life with archival photographs, reproductions of her own artwork, paintings for which she modeled before she met Picasso, and a selection of superb portraits of her by Picasso himself. A foreword and notes by Picasso scholar Marilyn McCully set the journal and letters in context, and an epilogue by distinguished art historian and Picasso biographer John Richardson tells the story of Olivier's life after her final breakup with Picasso. / MARILYN McCULLY has published many books and articles on Picasso, and has organized exhibitions of the artist's work, most recently 'Picasso: Painter and Sculptor in Clay' at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She lives in London. JOHN RICHARDSON is a noted authority on Picasso's life and work." - Publisher.

2001 book Hardcover Brand New Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 296 pages. 9.30 x 6.80 x 0.80 in. 27.2 oz. The compelling and revolutionary journal of the first real love of Pablo Picasso vividly depicts Olivier's turbulent relationship with the artist and sheds new light on the Parisian art scene of the early twentieth century. Fernande Olivier, who lived with Picasso for nine years, wrote this candid account of their life together as well as of her bohemian existence before she met the painter. The memoir, which is unsparing about Picasso's faults, reputedly infuriated him when it was first published in the early '30s. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. [T]he work of a gifted observer whose sometimes self-centered focus does not detract from the swiftness and charm of her narrative. --New York Times Book Review-Diane Johnson (08/05/2001)--[F]or anyone conversant with the original texts the illustrations will be the greatest revelation....They provide the visual background
