Description: This volume presents one of the most significant and least-investigated aspects of Picasso's work: its roots in Italian art. Picasso: The Italian Journey reveals the fascinating ties between Picasso's work and his experiences in Italy. There he began his second rose period, and absorbed the powerful spirit of Renaissance, classical, and mannerist art and Italian culture.

Copiously illustrated with personal notes, sketches, drawings, paintings, and set design, this book is an essential part of every scholar's library. It is published to accompany an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi, Venice.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 355-357) and indexes.
Accompanies exhibition held at the Palaxzo Grassi--cf. p. [5].
