Conversations with Picasso
User Review - Not Available - Book VerdictBrassa , a photographer and journalist, had countless meetings with Picasso in the 1940s. This reprint of his 1964 title offers transcripts of many of those discussions as well as his own insights into his subject and many of the other artistic fixtures of Paris. A must for Picasso fans.

Review: Conversations with Picasso
User Review - A. Loobeensky - GoodreadsIt was amazing. Truly, it was. Not because of the language or composition (In fact I "deBrassaised" this book a bit - Picasso is far more important then the Author) but as a portrait of an Artist. Rather a picture than a literature. Read full review
