When Japanese ukiyo-e woodcut prints arrived in the European art world of the late nineteenth century they caused a sensation and influenced artists as diverse as van Gogh Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin. Picasso first encountered their bold stylization and expressive flair as a young artist in Barcelona but his connection with Japanese art has been comparatively neglected by critical studies until now. Although Picasso expressed an ambivalent attitude to the Japonisme movement it has recently been discovered that he personally owned more than sixty of the highly erotic prints known as shunga. Now a selection of these rare works from his private collection has been brought together by the Museu Picasso in Barcelona and is shown here for the first time along with Picasso’s own prints and drawings. This juxtaposition reveals a series of fascinating parallels and convergences in terms of both subject matter and composition. The stylistic echoes are most visible in Picasso’s erotic drawings of the first decade of the twentieth century and in a series of witty and explicit prints made toward the end of his life which share the frank yet playful attitude to sexual relationships that shines through in the best Japanese works of this genre. Lavishly illustrated with images b y both Japanese printmakers and the Western artists who followed in their stead the book features essays by Hayakawa Monta Ricard Bru Malén Gual and Diana Widmaier Picasso. 200 color illustrations . 2010. 0500093547 .

Comprising thirty-four paintings fifty-eightdrawings a dozen sculptures and ceramics and more than four hundred prints the collection reflects the full breadth of the artist’s multisided genius as it asserted itself over the course of his long and influential career. Notable for its remarkable constellation of early figure paintings which include the commanding At the Lapin Agile 1905 and the iconic portrait of Gertrude Stein 1906 the Museum’s collection also stands apart for its exceptional cache of drawings which despite their importance and number remain relatively little known. The key subjects that variously sustained Picasso’s interestthe pensive harlequins of his Blue and Rose periods faceted tabletops of his Cubist years classicizing bathers and dreaming nudes of the 1920s and 30s and the rakish musketeers of his maturityare amply represented by works ranging in date from a dashing self-portrait of 1900 to the fanciful Standing Nude and Seated Musketeer painted nearly seventy years later. An overview of the collection’s history; entries on nearly one hundred works that incorporate the latest technical and documentary findings and furnish a full record of the provenance exhibition history and references for each object; and an essay and illustrated checklist of the prints are also included in this illuminating and handsomely illustrated volume. . 2010. 0300155255 .
