Entre 1917 et 1935, Pablo Picasso partage sa vie avec Olga Khokhlova, danseuse des Ballets russes qu'il épouse en 1918. Jusqu'à sa mort en 1955, Olga conservera la mémoire de cette vie commune dans une grande malle-cabine contenant des souvenirs de sa carrière de ballerine, de nombreuses lettres écrites par sa famille restée en Russie et des dizaines de photographies de son existence d'alors : Olga avec Picasso, Olga avec leur fils Paul, les mondanités, les voyages à Barcelone, Naples et Monte-Carlo... Ces documents, en partie inédits, éclairent d'un nouveau jour l'extraordinaire destin d'Olga, la production du peintre durant cette période et l'influence que la figure de sa première épouse aura sur son oeuvre, au-delà de leur séparation. De la représentation classique d'une femme pensive, mélancolique, absorbée dans la lecture des tristes nouvelles de sa famille, aux violentes représentations de la fin des années 1920, peintures, dessins et gravures témoignent de la sombre métamorphose que l'artiste fait subir à son modèle et à son oeuvre, au fur et à mesure de l'évolution de leur vie conjugale.

This catalog for British painter Rachel Howard’s (born 1969) exhibition at Newport Street Gallery features 14 paintings drawing on the Stations of the Cross, with a study of media images of the torture of Iraqi detainee Ali Shallal al-Qaisi by US soldiers in 2003.

Exploring the artistic connections and contrasts between Yves Klein and Alberto Giacometti, this two-volume set delves into their groundbreaking works. It highlights the unique styles and philosophies of each artist, showcasing how their innovative approaches have influenced the art world. The volumes provide a comprehensive examination of their legacies, making it an essential resource for understanding their contributions to modern art.

Born on September 5, 1935, María de la Concepción, nicknamed Maya, was Pablo Picasso's first daughter. This book, exhibition catalog for the Picasso Museum in Paris, highlights the artist's relationship with his child. Fascinated by his daughter, Picasso took her as a model from an early age. The drawings, paintings, and photographs of Maya reproduced in this book testify to the incredible source of inspiration that Maya was for her father. In addition to her portraits, the book presents drawings made in tandem by father and daughter, that merge the master's line with that of his child, testifying to their bond. The essays of this volume focus on Maya's childhood years, between her birth and the end of the Nazi occupation of Paris when the great majority of the portraits were created - a period of almost incessant war in Europe and traumatic upheaval in Picasso's personal life. Also, in a conversation between Maya Ruiz-Picasso and her daughter, Diana Widmaier-Picasso, Maya's memories are revisited to create an intimate portrait of the artist.

In light of a large selection of previously unpublished personal archives - documents, photographs and films - this title explores Picasso's 'Olga period' by contextualising his work during this period and by questioning the contrast between the subject and its portrayal.

A celebration of art from outside the established Art World.
