Book Description
Picasso's Kitchen delves, for the first time, into the relationship between Picasso and cooking. Food and kitchenware are present in many of his still-lifes, such as the tomato plant in the Grands- Augustins studio, the eel stew that his wife Jacqueline used to cook, the main painting he made on Manet's Le dejeuner sur l'herbe... Cuisine is also a recurring topic in his poetry, and many of his sculptures are based on kitchen utensils, such as his famous cubist absinthe glass. This publication addresses food and cuisine in Picasso's work, but also the restaurants that marked his life - such as the famous Le Catalan, near his studio on Grands-Augustins Street, in which Picasso used to eat with his friends during German occupation - as well as the importance of restaurants as meeting points for the avant-garde, from Quatre Gats in Barcelona to Lapin Agile in Montmartre, Paris. The exhibition Picasso's Kitchen will be open to the public from May to September 2018, at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona.

Book Description
A Schneider Family Book Award Honor Book for Teens "Raw and unflinching . . . A must-read!" --Marieke Nijkamp, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends "[It] cuts to the heart of our bogus ideas of beauty." –Scott Westerfeld, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Uglies I am ugly. There's a mathematical equation to prove it. At only eight months old, identical twin sisters Ariel and Zan were diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome -- a rare condition where the bones in the head fuse prematurely. They were the first twins known to survive it. Growing up, Ariel and her sister endured numerous appearance-altering procedures. Surgeons would break the bones in their heads and faces to make room for their growing organs. While the physical aspect of their condition was painful, it was nothing compared to the emotional toll of navigating life with a facial disfigurement. Ariel explores beauty and identity in her young-adult memoir about resilience, sisterhood, and the strength it takes to put your life, and yourself, back together time and time again.

Book Description
Master Minds: Creativity in Picasso’s & Husain’s Paintings The book, “Master Minds: Creativity in Picasso’s and Husain’s Paintings”, is a projection of master minds in the field of art. It reveals about the creative works of art that are not just show pieces to adorn rich homes, museums and art galleries but to bring awareness about human attitude and cultural heritage. The projection of these works of art could lead to international integration and establish an amicable relationship between people of all communities and further form a peaceful global human society. This book Part 1 to Part 5 also serves the purpose of academic study for art scholars and art researchers all over the world In the entire book, “Master Minds: Creativity in Picasso’s and Husain’s Paintings,” light has been thrown on Picasso’s and Husain’s life and paintings. There is an analytical study of their works of art. The significant aspects dealt with in their paintings are creativity viewed through linear quality, forms, colors, pictorial composition, subject matter, styles, mediums, techniques, similarities and differences in their works of art. I consider myself to be fortunate to avail the opportunity to journey through a significant part of the life and works of these two great artists. Their contribution to the world of art is exemplary for many future generations. Picasso and Husain have proved that the aesthetic artistic trend of thought has no barriers and boundaries. The mind of an artist can reach any part of the universe and create wonders in the form of an art. Picasso’s and Husain’s immortalized paintings mesmerize the observer when their creative activity springs out in their paintings which speak in a silent language of forms and colors. An exposure to visual art in any form has proved to be a form of communication. Our global human society is divided by languages, customs, religions, economic developments and geographical locations, but the visual language in the form of paintings of artists all over the world have united the global society by their creative activity. When an artist’s aesthetic sense is highly developed and his ability to grasp and display is superb he ultimately becomes a pioneer of a unique technique or style. Picasso’s cubism and Husain’s allegorical series of paintings in Husainean style are the products of the vigorous experiments with different mediums and techniques. It has been noticed that their works have a glimpse of the existing styles and techniques mingled with an antiquarian approach where the result is absolutely unique and creative. Their works of art are deemed to immortalize their names as the ever shining prominent stars in the sky of the world of art. There are total 226 illustrations in Part 1 to Part 5 of the ebooks that include a unique analytical study of the paintings and the sketches of the artists, Pablo Picasso and Maqbool Fida Husain.

Picasso's Lovers

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
“A complex, absorbing portrait”—People A tangled and vivid portrait of the women caught in Picasso’s charismatic orbit through the affairs, the scandals, and the art—only this time, they hold the brush. The women of Picasso’s life are glamorous and elusive, existing in the shadow of his fame—until 1950s aspiring journalist Alana Olson determines to bring one into the light. Unsure of what to expect but bent on uncovering what really lies beneath the canvas, Alana steps into Sara Murphy’s well-guarded home to discover a past complicated by secrets and intrigue. Sara paints a luxurious picture of the French Riviera in 1923, but also a tragic one. The more Sara reveals, the more cracks emerge in Picasso’s once-vibrant social circle—and the more Alana feels a disturbing convergence with her own life. Who are these other muses? What became of them? What will become of her? Desperate to trace the threads, Alana dives into the glittering lives of the past. But to do so she must contend with her own reality, including a strained engagement, the male-dominated world of art journalism, and the rising threat to civil rights in America. With hard truths peeling apart around her, it turns out that the most extraordinary portrait Alana encounters is her own.
