'Picasso/Asia: A Conversation'

This essential title explores the enduring legacy of Pablo Picasso in Asia. Accompanying a major exhibition — at M+, Hong Kong, and the Musée National Picasso, Paris — 'Picasso/Asia: A Conversation' presents a fresh interpretation of Picasso’s oeuvre in dialogue with the works of Asian and Asian-disaporic artists. This important volume considers Picasso’s reception in Asia from the 1910s to the end of the 20th century, and East Asian art in Europe during his lifetime and its influences on his work. The book uniquely looks at Picasso through the lens of the “Four Archetypes of Creativity”: the Genius, the Outsider, the Magician, and the Apprentice. This enriching edition from Thames & Hudson is authored by Doryun Chong and François Dareau, and is a must-have for artists, academics, and aesthetes.
