Picasso war Zeit seines Lebens leidenschaftlicher Sammler afrikanischer und ozeanischer Kunst und trug eine singuläre Künstlersammlung zusammen, die erstmalig veröffentlicht wird. Durch neu aufgetauchte historische Fotografien ist eine nahezu vollständige Rekonstruktion der alten Sammlung möglich, die sich heute noch im Besitz der Familie befindet sowie im Musée Picasso, im Louvre und im Musée Quai Branly in Paris zu sehen ist. Picassos „Primitivismus“ wird in diesem Buch neu bewertet. Überdies weist eine umfassende Chronologie - Jahr für Jahr - Picassos enges Verhältnis zu afrikanischer Kunst und Kultur nach.

Prestel Minis feature artwork of all kinds, elegantly designed and packaged. Whether for a birthday, an anniversary, or just as a surprise, these miniature treasures prove that little things mean a lot.

The past 100 years was one of the most turbulent periods in the history of mankind. For the first time, the technology existed to allow the events that shaped the century to be recorded and relayed around the globe at increasing speeds. The most impactful photographs ever taken have been selected for this volume. Together they provide a map of the events - from the epic to the intimate, the heroic to the barbaric - that literally changed our world.

More than ninety of the century's best photographers are presented in this richly illustrated volume with some 160 icons of the genre. This selection focuses not only on universally famous and artistically stunning images by renowned photographers, but also on the discovery of lesser known pictures of exquisite quality. The range of subject material, from the portrait to political or social reportage, from genre images to abstract or subjective photography, is matched only by the stylistic variety of the selected works. These reflect the multiplicity of this century's artistic movements and lend them new expression through their clarity and focus. More than any other artistic medium, photography has changed the way we view our world at the close of the twentieth century, a fact that is clearly reflected in this volume.

This dynamic introduction to the world's greatest photographers from the inception of photography to today bears proof of the magic of the camera. From Félix Nadar to Nan Goldin, each of the photographers featured here represents an important aspect of photography's evolution. The artists are presented in double-page spreads that include reproductions of their most important works, concise biographies, informative sidebars, and a timeline that extends throughout the volume. The result is a fascinating overview of the way photographers continue to push the limits of their genre, offering their audiences new ways of seeing and understanding our world.
