Richard Wollheim
- A Life of Picasso: Vol. I 1881-1906 by John Richardson and Marilyn McCulley
Cape, 548 pp, £25.00, September 1991, ISBN 0 224 03024 8
Written in a strong, clear, slightly salty style, carrying effortlessly a great deal of information, much of it new, and illustrated so profusely that at every turn the narrative seems to play itself out before our eyes, the first volume of John Richardson’s long-awaited Life of Picasso will leave its readers waiting impatiently for Volume Two. Long may it go on. Meanwhile it is a special kind of pleasure to be able to praise the book of an old and close friend, and be confident that the praise has nothing to do with the friendship.
