Picasso by Patrick Obrian

Picasso by Patrick Obrian

A scholarly, passionate and brilliantly-written biography of Pablo Picasso by Patrick OBrian, the famous author of the much-loved Aubrey-Maturin series, reissued in a stunning new cover.

‘Patrick O’Brian has written much the best biography of PicassoIt is full of information, the judgements both of Picasso as a man and as an artist seem to me remarkably convincing, and it is extremely well-written. In particular, the relationship between Picasso and the Catalan painters is given its true importance, both in his formative years and, as friends, throughout his life.’
Kenneth Clarke

Patrick O’Brian, until his death in 2000, was one of our greatest contemporary novelists. He is the author of the acclaimed Aubrey–Maturin tales and the biographer of Joseph Banks and Picasso. He is the author of many other books including Testimonies, and his Collected Short Stories. In 1995 he was the first recipient of the Heywood Hill Prize for a lifetime’s contribution to literature. In the same year he was awarded the CBE. In 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He lived for many years in South West France and he died in Dublin in January 2000.
