Picasso's triumphant years
|
John Richardson is one of the most eminent of Picasso's biographers. His third volume on the painter's life covers the period from just after World War 1 to the early 1930s. In today's discussion with Joseph Rishel, a curator of European painting from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, John Richardson talks about some of Picasso's most famous paintings and about the challenges facing a biographer writing about both the personal and the artistic life of such a complex character.
