Overview
A charming and surprising portrait of Picasso's everyday life in postwar France
In 1949, Irish photographer Edward Quinn (1920-97) moved to France, living and working on the Côte d'Azur as a press photographer for magazines such as Life and Paris Match. Two years after moving there he became friends with Picasso, photographing him at work in his ceramics studio in the early 1950s. Quinn was soon photographing him regularly--in the studio, with his family, with artist friends, at bullfights or simply out and about--using natural light and no tripod.
From the 1960s on, Quinn concentrated his work entirely on artists, portraying the likes of Ernst, Calder, Bacon, Dalí, Sutherland, Hockney and Baselitz. But it was Picasso to whom he returned most frequently. His archive of more than 12,000 images documents Picasso's idiosyncratic character, humor and enthusiasm in an amiable, light-hearted way. This volume offers an enchanting selection of images from Picasso's everyday life.
