An amazing book of artwork by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). "In the main group of reproductions in this book, Picasso tackles the problem of the artist as he confronts his waiting canvas and his eternal model, the female nude. He confronts them as a worker, a questing, uncertain artist, and as a man. Indoors and out, young and old, now arrogant, now bewildered, now frantic, now serene, this Artist of Picasso's will forever seek to fix the idea on his canvas where we never see what he is painting. The Model remains an antagonist and a lure, in endless ways exposing her charms. The variety and inspiration of the variations in the Artist and His Model series is dazzling -- a tour de force that is unique in art. Helene Parmelin's text is highly personal, also: impressionistic, intimate, heady with strange images, and generous with quotations and paraphrases of Picasso. Perhaps more than any other writer, Mme. Parmelin, a long-time friend, evokes the artist and his life." (dj).
