About the Work

Throughout his remarkable career, Pablo Picasso transformed the world of art, becoming undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. In this captivating volume, the artist's granddaughter, Diana Widmaier Picasso, curates a collection of 100 unique and quintessential works that illustrate the evolution of this iconic artist, creating a breathtaking compendium of pieces that could never all be acquired by a single collector. While casual art enthusiasts may be familiar with his Cubist works and the Guernica, Picasso: The Impossible Collection delves deeper, showcasing some of Picasso's lesser-known yet equally powerful paintings, prints, sculptures, and photographs from his remarkable body of work.
