Picasso Paints a Portrait

For 17 years, internationally acclaimed photographer David Douglas Duncan was a trusted friend of Pablo Picasso & his family. He took thousands of photos of the artist, inside his studio-homes, & of his then-unknown canvases. Here Duncan reveals his unprecedented photojournalistic coup: capturing the legendary master as he created a constantly changing oil-on-canvas portrait of Jacqueline, his companion & future wife. These historic pictures were taken in 2 days at Villa La Californie on the French Riviera, the center of Picasso's world in 1957. There, the 76-year-old Picasso & Duncan stood together, one man painting, the other photographing.Duncan, David Douglas is the author of 'Picasso Paints a Portrait', published 2000 under ISBN 9780788190094 and ISBN 0788190091.
