Picasso: 14 Sketchbooks

Published in collaboration with the Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, Madrid (FABA), this collection of Picasso’s sketchbooks offers a unique and intimate view of the ways in which the artist lived and worked.

With reproductions from 14 sketchbooks dating between 1900 and 1959, this volume traces the evolution of Picasso’s observations and ideas across almost every period of his career, drawing from a rich body of research assembled by curatorial advisors and Picasso experts Marilyn McCully and Michael Raeburn. Offering a window into Picasso’s imagination and creative process, each of the sketchbooks is connected to well-known bodies of work by the artist. Blank pages at the back of the publication invite the reader to contribute their own sketches and ideas.
