Author: Picasso, Pablo
A painter, draftsman and sculptor, but also a photographer, engraver, set designer and ceramist, Picasso excelled in every genre. He was one of the most prolific and polymorphic artists, and a poet who was passionate about Greek and Latin literature, to the point of illustrating Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' in 1930. This superb catalogue displays the close relationship that links the artistic practice of Picasso and poetry, revealing a little-known aspect of his work.Throughout his career, he illustrated countless books by poets such as Apollinaire, Jacob and Reverdy. In 1930 he illustrated the Metamorphoses by Ovid, a series of engravings that, with the great frescoes by painter and architect Giulio Romano (1499–1546), is the perfect echo of Romano’s Palazzo Te, a palace in the suburbs of Mantua, Italy, itself a magnificent example of the Mannerist style of architecture.
