Pablo: Art Masters Series Details
Review “Birmant’s Picasso is a furiously determined protagonist full of palpable jealousy and ego, his actions punctuated by Mr. Oubrerie’s loose and frenetic drawing style.” (New York Observer)“The fluidly illustrated comic, with fleshy tones and energetic lines, delves into the artist’s psychological and emotional depths.” (Flavorpill)“Pablo Picasso’s turbulent early years in Paris are vividly portrayed in this engaging graphic biography.” (Booklist)“Sardonic, informative, and sexy.” (Library Journal online)“The graphic novelists unfold their canvas slowly, letting us bask in the gradually told adventure, and take in all these beautiful earth tones. The result is a masterwork in more ways than one.” (The Washington Post) Read more About the Author Julie Birmant, a former director of the Brussels film school INSAS, has made documentaries on popular science and co-edited issues of the Journal of Alternative Theatre.
