Label Text:Sabartes, Picasso's friend from their early Barcelona days, became the artist's secretary in November 1935, and served in this capacity for thirty years. This text gives some genealogical details about Picass's family, reflects on the personality of the artist, quotes lengthy excerpts from their conversations, and relates the story of how the lithography printer and publisher Mourlot met Picasso. The book is illustrated with 30 reproductions of works in Picasso's studio and 6 original lithographs. The deluxe edition, as this copy is, comes with 7 additional lithographs. All the lithographs were drawn ten years previously.
