"My work is like a diary," Picasso once told John Richardson, who lived near the artist in Provence for a decade and became a trusted friend. This relationship allowed Richardson to observe and document how Picasso's art mirrored his life. With continued access to the artist's studios and archives through Picasso's widow, Richardson is uniquely positioned to write an insightful biography that transcends sensationalism and delves into the traumas and obsessions fueling Picasso's genius. He adeptly navigates the contradictions surrounding the artist, highlighting themes of ambivalence. Richardson reveals how Picasso's courage and terror, misogyny and tenderness, generosity and thrift, superstition and skepticism, cynicism and sentiment are reflected in his work's conflicts and paradoxes. His keen eye for the complexities of Picasso's art, combined with extensive cultural knowledge, illustrates how the artist drew from the past and the imaginations of his poet friends to forge a revolutionary synthesis. This first volume of Richardson's detailed four-volume study covers Picasso's life up to age twenty-five, detailing his struggle against his father's artistic legacy, his early successes in Barcelona and Paris, and the subsequent despair. It culminates in Picasso's realization of his role as the modern movement's messiah, supported by around nine hundred illustrations that vividly trace his artistic evolution.

The first volume of this biography emphasized Picasso's Spanish roots from Malaga to Barcelona. This second volume covers ten pivotal years of Picasso's life. It describes his relationship with Cocteau, his affair with Fernande Olivier, and the influence of women on his art.

The fourth and final volume of Picasso's life unfolds in Paris, Normandy, the south of France, Royan, and Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War and the onset of World War II. Drawing on extensive research, including interviews and previously unseen materials from the Picasso family archives, the narrative begins with Hungarian-French photographer Brassaï visiting Picasso's chateau in Normandy, where he captures iconic images of the plaster busts of Marie-Thérèse, Picasso's mistress and muse. During this period, Picasso contributed to André Breton's Minotaur magazine and mingled with notable figures like Man Ray, Salvador Dalí, and Paul Éluard. He delved into surrealist poetry, becoming captivated by the Minotaur myth, which inspired his famous etching, Minotauromachie. The artist remained prolific, creating works featuring both Marie-Thérèse and the surrealist photographer Dora Maar, who became a muse and collaborator. The bombing of Guernica in 1937 spurred Picasso to paint his monumental work of the same name for the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World's Fair. Despite the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1940, he chose to stay, facing the risk of art confiscation. In 1943, he met Françoise Gilot, who revitalized his creativity and inspired a remarkable series of paintings. This volume immerses readers in a pivotal moment in twentieth-century cultural history, concluding a definitive account of one of the world's most celebrated

Édouard Manet (1832-83) zählt zu den bedeutendsten und faszinierendsten Malern des 19. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich. Seine scharfe Beobachtungsgabe, die außergewöhnliche Beherrschung der Maltechnik und das Gespür für exquisite Farbharmonien verleihen seinen Werken sowohl Lebendigkeit als auch Faszination. Manets Bedeutung in der Geschichte der europäischen Malerei ist enorm, da er als Pionier der modernen Lebensdarstellung in einem modernen Stil einen prägenden Einfluss auf die gesamte Impressionistenbewegung ausübte. Werke wie „Olympia“ und „Das Picknick“ gehören zu den Schlüsselwerken des 19. Jahrhunderts. John Richardson erörtert in seinem einführenden Essay umfassend Manets Persönlichkeit mit ihren vielen Widersprüchen. Dieser brillante Text, der erstmals 1958 veröffentlicht wurde und eine Wiederbelebung der Manet-Forschung einleitete, wurde 1982 überarbeitet und enthält Anmerkungen zu den achtundvierzig Farbtafeln von Kathleen Adler sowie vergleichende Illustrationen, die die Qualität, Vielfalt und den Charakter von Manets Werk hervorheben.

Cet ouvrage est intitulé Nicolas de Staël, un automne, un hiver car il présente le dernier ensemble de peintures et d'œuvres sur papier réalisé à Antibes par l'artiste entre octobre 1954 et le 16 mars 1955, date de son suicide. Il a accompagné une exposition organisée dans le musée d'Antibes en 2005 mais a été conçu comme un ouvrage à part entière. Il met en lumière ces quelques mois en documentant le plus possible le séjour de l'artiste à Antibes. Des essais de Daniel Abadie qui propose de " revoir " De Staël aujourd'hui, de Federico Nicolao qui soumet une réévaluation du rapport abstraction/figuration de l'œuvre ultime de l'artiste, la correspondance de Nicolas de Staël, un texte de Valentine Marcadé sur l'œuvre de Nicolas de Staël, inédit en français, et commenté par Jean-Claude Marcadé, un texte de John Richardson inédit en français, quelques pages souvenirs d'Anne de Staël cernent de plus près l'ultime explosion de couleurs que connaît l'art de Nicolas de Staël à la veille de sa mort, en dépit de sa difficulté à se réaliser dans sa peinture. 147 tableaux et de nombreuses œuvres sur papier ont vu ainsi le jour en moins de cinq mois, à Antibes, à deux pas du musée qui lui a consacré cet hommage. La correspondance de Nicolas de Staël à partir de l'été 1954, une biographie et une bibliographie sélective complètent l'ouvrage.
