Description

Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Kees van Dongen, Paul Gauguin, Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, all painted in praise of women. Works by all these great artists have been combined in a unique study celebrating Woman as a goddess, mother, wife, lover, and femme fatale. Key paintings in oil by each of these great artists evoke a kaleidoscope of different sensual, sexual, and maternal emotions. In addition, there are 30 images by Pablo Picasso in other media: in pencil, watercolor, and chalk. "L'Eternel Feminin," a central theme in Picasso's work, is reflected in these pictures, taken from many different periods in the artist's life. Many of the 80 works, which have rarely, if ever, been published, come from well-known private collections all over the world. 224 pages with 150 illustrations, 135 in color.
