Title: Two smart guys talking
Review: Conversations with PicassoI knew Brassai was a great photographer of Paris at night but I had no idea he was really well educated about literature and art, painted and drew, and met with Picasso as an equal discussing both their art works, art history, styles in painting as Brassai photographed Picasso's paintings and sculptures. This book is just like hanging out with the two of them, before, during and after WWII -- a really fun time with two very smart guys -- the book will send you to the internet looking for some of the artists they are talking about, like Hokusai, a Japanese painter I had never heard of -- Brassai told Picasso he had done some very large paintings, which was news to Picasso. Relaxed and fascinating reading.
