A profusely illustrated study of Picasso and portraiture. The book opens with an authoritative, broad-ranging essay by William Rubin; the nine essays that follow—all by major contemporary scholars and critics—examine different periods and aspects of Picasso's career and clarify personal relationships between the artist and his subjects.
