Title: Picasso's Drawings 1890-1921: Reinventing Tradition
Description: Washington, DC, The Frick Collection / Yale University Press, 2011. Softbound. Dark brown and color illustrated wraps. xiii, 299 pages : Many nice color reproductions of 74 works with detailed annotations. Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is generally acknowledged as the greatest draftsman of the 20th century. Through some 55 works, the exhibition presents the dazzling development of Picasso's drawings over a 30-year period—from the precocious academic exercises of his youth in the 1890s to the virtuoso works of the early 1920s, including the radical innovations of cubism and collage. Drawing served as an essential means of invention and discovery in Picasso's multifaceted art, connecting him with the grand tradition of drawing by European masters of the near and distant past.
