"This catalogue is devoted to the late phase of Pablo Picasso's oeuvre, in particular the years 1961 to 1973. During this period, which Picasso spent with Jacqueline Roque in Mougins, a body of work emerged marked by remarkable intensity, formal freedom and thematic radicalism. Contrary to the widespread perception that these late works were characterised by hasty execution and stylistic arbitrariness, the volume reveals how Picasso, driven by a sense of artistic urgency, painted in defiance of his own mortality."
"A Life of Picasso: The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932 (2008) by John Richardson Drawing on extensive research, including first-hand interviews and previously unpublished materials, this authoritative biography presents a wealth of original insights. This volume combines a rigorous analysis of Picasso's artistic production with a richly textured and nuanced account of his complex personal life. An important volume in order to learn more about Picasso's personal life."
An exhibition Late Picasso opened at Stockholm's Moderna Museet, accompanied by a selection of five books that illuminate Picasso's later years. Painting Against Time (2006) focuses on the late phase, especially 1961–1973 in Mougins with Jacqueline Roque, and emphasizes intensity, formal freedom and thematic radicalism that counter perceptions of hasty execution. John Richardson's Triumphant Years (1917–1932) draws on extensive research and unpublished material to combine rigorous analysis of artistic production with a textured account of Picasso's complex personal life. Picasso: Endlessly Drawing (2024) treats drawing as a continuous inquiry into line across the artist's career.
