Description: New York: Gagosian, 2011. 32cm., hardcover, 299pp. prof. illus., most in color. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: The work included in this publication spans the years 1927 to 1940. More than any other woman, Marie-Thérèse, with her statuesque body and strong, pure profile, fueled Picasso’s imagination with a luminous dream of youth. Although her first appearances in his work were veiled references, the arrival of the blond goddess’s likeness in his art announced a new love in his life. In portrayals, Picasso would stretch her robust athletic form to new extremes, metamorphosing her in endlessly inventive ways. She became the catalyst for some of his most exceptional work, from groundbreaking paintings to an inspired return to sculpture in the 1930s, according her an almost mythic stature and immortality as an art historical subject. This fully illustrated catalogue includes a new biographical essay by Picasso biographer John Richardson; an essay by Diana Widmaier Picasso which explores Picasso’s portraiture and includes dozens of never before published photos of Marie-Thérèse from the family archive; and an essay by Elizabeth Cowling examining the dissemination of Picasso’s sculptures through the art journals of the period.
