Picasso Érotique.

The works in this ground-breaking book include erotic drawings - formal and informal - sketches in notebooks hidden in drawers and private collections, and occasionally paintings and sculptures. Essays by an international team of scholars analyze the primeval notion of desire in Picasso's work, of artist to model, as well as his relation to voyeurism and exhibitionism. Whether through playful or hallucinatory forms, Picasso's representations of the desiring and desired body have become a pivotal moment in the history of twentieth century art.

Produced to accompany a major exhibition in Paris, Montreal and Barcelona, "Picasso Erotique" is a unique examination of the central theme in Picasso's work.
