Picasso's Picassos: The Treasures of La Californie presents an intimate photographic record of the works Picasso chose to keep for himself: the paintings, sculptures, and drawings that never made it to the galleries or auction houses, preserved instead as a private universe of creativity within his own walls. Duncan, a celebrated photojournalist and close friend of Picasso, brings his masterful eye to bear on both the art and the man, capturing the genius in his natural habitat with warmth, candour, and an insider's understanding.\n\nThe result is a rare dual portrait — of an artist and his art — that challenges the boundary between biography and art history. Duncan's intimate prose and stunning colour photography illuminate not only the aesthetic brilliance of Picasso's private collection, but also the deeply personal relationship a creator can have with his own work. A landmark publication in art documentation, this volume leaves the reader wondering: what does it mean when a genius refuses to let go?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203112902875,"sku":"2026100009646-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/33f59128-227d-4e94-8639-6040defcab9f.png?v=1788144100","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009646-secondhand-picassos-picassos-the-treasures-of-la-californie","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
