Review Quotes

"A vivid introduction to the artist's life" --Publishers Weekly

"The brisk text and Lemay's gently humorous images hopscotch across details of Picasso's professional and personal life, showing the artist creating pieces like Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, morphing into images from his work, conversing with individuals like Gertrude Stein and Henri Matisse, playfully engaging with pets, and more." --Publishers Weekly

"100 Pablo Picassos is an utterly charming and informative tour through the life and career of Pablo Picasso. Enhanced by the wonderful art of Violet Lemay, this book cleverly introduces the work of the great 20th Century master to a new generation. Absolutely delightful!" --Anne Girard, author of Madame Picasso
