Description
Pablo Picasso Women: Cannes & Mougins 1954-1963 1964 HC w/ Jacquelin Lithograph. PICASSO: WOMEN — Cannes and Mougins, 1954–1963 Large-format hardcover art monograph Text by Hélène Parmelin | Preface by Douglas Cooper Éditions Cercle d’Art / Harry N. Abrams N.V., Amsterdam A substantial and beautifully produced Picasso art monograph focused exclusively on the artist’s late Cannes and Mougins period (1954–1963)—one of the most inventive and psychologically fascinating phases of his career. This is not a generic Picasso overview, but a focused collector volume featuring extensive full-page illustrations, high-quality color reproductions, and many lesser-seen works from Picasso’s late "Women" series and related period imagery that are not commonly encountered in standard survey books. The visual production quality is excellent throughout, with richly reproduced plates and a striking Picasso-designed cloth binding that makes the book itself highly displayable. Condition: Very Good hardcover. No dust jacket. Binding is solid; interior is clean and bright. Light age wear / minor soiling to cloth boards consistent with age (see photos). A handsome and increasingly hard-to-find Picasso collector/reference volume for art lovers, collectors, and admirers of Picasso’s late work. Please note: some copies of this title are described online as containing an “original lithograph.” After close inspection, the tipped-in color plate present in this copy appears to be a publisher-issued reproduction/facsimile plate rather than a separately issued original Picasso lithograph print. Book is otherwise complete and beautifully produced throughout. Please review all photos carefully for condition details.
