Picasso: The Later Years

This book explores and celebrates the later years of Pablo Picasso, one of the most famous and influential artists of all time. In a series of articles, Chris Wade looks at how and why the ageing Picasso remained as restlessly creative as ever before, in an era that is so often glossed over. Alongside essays on his work, articles on his muses and a piece on his death at the age of 91, there is also a new interview with Lydia Corbett, known to the world as Sylvette, who sat for Picasso in 1954. This is a glimpse into another age, the final chapters of Picasso's long story.
