Picasso, bibliography and exhibition catalogues

- Picasso avec Picasso. Very nice book comprising more than 200 photographs of Picasso realized by his friend, the famous photograph Edward Quinn, this friendship had made possible for the photograph to follow Picasso in his ordinary life during many years since they meet each other in Vallauris in the beginning of the year 50.The book had been published at 300 copies only, all comprising a lithograph of Picasso printed in the workshop of Franck Bordas in Paris.

- Les archives de Picasso. Catalogue of a exhibition Picasso at the Picasso Museum of Paris in 2003 - 2004 devoted to the personal records of the artist, that mean all the documents that Picasso kept. The book, impassioning from beginning to end, is composed of 3 distinct parts : First chapter "Picasso intimates" which shows files that Picasso produced himself and who determine his everyday life, one finds there drawings, tickets of bullfights, circus, cinema, crib, hotel bills etc. The second part, most important, called the "circle of Picasso" indexes the letters received by Picasso (and preserved by him) of his friends where one finds Cocteau, Breton, Eluard, Césaire, Prévert, Bataille, Fautrier, Miro, Dali etc. Picasso preserved thus more than 20000 letters. The last part, "Picasso and the others" index the letters and postcards that Picasso received from anonymous, which send to Picasso their homages, their petitions, their judgments or their admirations. While declaring in a newspaper in 1960, "I would like to be poor", the artist thus starts an outcry at a number of people who write to him, often in a very virulent way... For its eightieth birthday in 1961, artistic and media event, Picasso received 751 letters of anonymous wishing to join this celebration. "We are what we keep". It is in any case a different and original way to approach the artist and his work by showing the traces of its life, its artistic, political and intellectual advance, its impact on the others and its glory. Text of Laurence Madeline.
