"Je Suis Le Cahier" The Sketchbooks of Picasso hardcover book 1st Edition 1986
The Sketchbooks of Picasso "Je Suis Le Cahier".
Pablo Picasso, "Picasso considered all of his works to be entries in his diary; he excluded nothing. The sketchbooks are generic chapters inextricable from his oeuvre. In Picasso's paintings the spontaneity of gesture is deceptive since the manner is which he leaves his tracks visible superficially suggests minimal preparation. Although most of Picasso's solutions appear to be immediately worked out on the canvas, this was far from the fact. Many paintings sprang fully formed as the fulfillment of preconscious models, but very often others were the product of the process of trial solution and discovery through drawing. There are eight sketchbooks for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, five for the saltimbanques, four for the Luncheon on the Grass series, and two for The rape of the Sabines. In sketchbook No. 171, Picasso inscribed: "La peinture est plus forte que moi elle me fait faire ce qu'elle veut" ("Painting is stronger than I am; it makes me do what it wants"). The sketchbook itself is the statement's validation."-
The Sketchbooks of Picasso is the only collection available of the private sketchbooks of Pablo Picasso, which he began in Barcelona in 1894. For more than seventy years, as the young painter blossomed and matured into the greatest artist of the twentieth century, he kept a record of his ideas and thoughts, so that by 1964 there were 175 sketchbooks, a unique and startling picture of the mind of a genius at work. Accompanying the major sections are essays by six of the greatest American art historians: E.A. Carmean, Sam Hunter, Rosalind Krauss, Theodore Reff, Robert Rosenblum, and Gert Schiff. A foreword by Claude Picasso, the artist's son, and a reminiscence by Francoise Gilot, Claude's mother, provide a more personal understanding of the part the sketchbooks played in Picasso's life.
Richly illustrated in color and Black and White, features 175 sketchbooks, and essays by Claude Picasso, Robert Rosenblum, Sam Hunter, Francoise Gilot, and others. The final section of the book serves as catalogue raisonne. The book accompanied the exhibition at the Pace Gallery in New York in 1986, where the sketchbooks were presented. From the library of Pasquale Iannetti, as indicated by stamp and nameplate on front pages. Large volume, great coffee table hardcover book.
Hard-covered book in original red cloth.
Published in 1986 by Pace Gallery.
