Involved in expressionism, cubism, and surrealism, Picasso was an outstanding painter during the first half of the 20th century. Innumerable publications to his person have appeared. In contrast to them, this short guide delivers an overview of the life and work of the controversial genius in not so many words and entertaining pictures. By developing a cubistic-influenced comic style, author Willi Bloess and illustrator Thomas Thiesen come close to their aim: explaining art by art.
