Master paintings from the Hermitage and the State… door John Richardson
great writing about the paintings, great choice of paintings, great pictures, great price--2.69 at salvation army
no es el periodo mas interesante de la vida de picasso. tampoco creo que sea el volumen mejor escrito de los tres que ha sacado richardson. pierde tiempo en correcciones a otros historiadores que me parecen revanchistas. pero richardson es un narrador excelente y es evidente que es una eminencia en el tema. el libro hay que verlo en relacion al proyecto, y el proyecto es monumental. ah, who am i kidding, el score se lo doy por que el tema me fascina.
