Masters of Metamorphosis
Hardback
Publication Date: 01/05/2006
Although he never set foot in Africa, Picasso had a passion for African art. Throughout the course of his life he assembled a unique collection of statues and masks. Comprising more than 120 objects, Picassos private collection can now be found in museums in Paris such as the Louvre, Musée Quai Branly and the Musée Picasso, as well as in the private collections of members of Picassos family. This beautiful book documents the entire collection and examines it as a whole. It features documentary photographs, a section of stunning color plates, and detailed ethnographic descriptions of each piece, providing a full account of Picassos relationship with African and Oceanic art. This important publication sheds new light on the fascination non-Western art held for one of twentieth centurys most important artists.
