line drawings
I'm a retired mechanical engineer and now an art student.Because of my enginnering background, I have a tendency to draw anything with lines around the perimeter of objedcts just like I might do if I were making an engineering drawing.My art instructors try to discourage my approach and one even went so far to suggest that I was not advanced enough to draw with lines. I of course did/do not agree. This instructor suggested I might like cartooning which I have been investigating.Thus I was very pleased to see this book which shows a number of line drawings by one of the great masters. I was happy to see that my view of the world has been shared by some of the great ones. However, my skill level in no way approaches his work.Lloyd Lehn

Great little book
My daughter loves drawing and she loves Picasso. So this made a lovely present for her.

Never judge a product by its cover
A big disappoinment.A few pages of badly reproduced drawings do not a book make. "A Picasso Portfolio" by MoMA turned out to be much better.

Picasso-- a glimpse
This book was a real find. The many illustrations were as good as a short course on the works of Picasso. I value it as an easy to read source on the works of a great artist.

Great to Flip Through
A nice book, but very unsubstantial. I did find a few drawings that aren't in other books I have of his though. Mainly gets 4 stars because Picasso was a genius.

Ok, but not great
The book arrived promptly and in good condition. I didn't expect much from the content, so was not disappointed. Some of Picasso's early drawings were so poor that they make me feel better about my own drawing. One can learn a great deal from trying to copy Picasso's work, as one begins to see relationships between lines and forms as he saw them. Some of Picasso's drawings were of his sexual fantasies, of course, so this may not be suitable for children whom you wish to shield from such ideas (smile).

Poor printing.
A lot of the pages looked like they were printed on a copy machine then stapeled into the book.
