This volume features a selection of photographs from Lucien Clergue's collection of over 600 black and white Picasso-related stills. The two creatives met on April 5, 1953 at a bullfight in Arles where the French photographer, Clergue shot several portraits of the artist. They met again two years later in La Californie, the artist's house in Cannes, and they formed a friendship that lasted until Picasso's death in 1973.
Throughout those decades, they met on around 27 occasions, and Clergue recorded each of them, capturing small moments of the artist's everyday habits, his studio and works, through his camera lens. In 2016, the Museu Picasso in Barcelona bought Clergue's Picasso-related photographic oeuvre, that makes up this stunning edition.
