A LIFE OF PICASSO The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932, by John Richardson; read and reviewed by N.H.V.V.

It's mostly about his relationship to a Russian ballerina named Olga who he married, and who was sick a lot; and from whom he gradually moved away from, as he got involved with other women. Very well written. It gives a great picture of one of Picasso's most productive periods while he was commissioned to do a huge body of work for the Russian ballet. Mainly it made me jealous because he was having such a good time, and that he was such a successful artist. Copyright 2011, by Nicholas H. Van Vactor.
