Philippe Jullian : l'esthète infernal
« La désinvolture était son élégance morale, l'impertinence son courage, et le cynisme sa pudeur. » Ghislain de Diesbach présente ainsi Philippe Jullian. Une originalité profonde, un goût très sûr, une verve piquante, joignant à une lucidité - souvent cruelle - un bonheur d'expression, qui rendait ses mots redoutables, un attrait morbide pour la catastrophe, la décadence et la mort, mais aussi un amour du beau sous ses formes les plus imprévues, tel était Philippe Jullian, et telle est son œuvre, reflet de sa bizarre personnalité.

Michael FitzGerald's assiduously researched book documents Picasso's courting of dealers, critics, collectors, and curators as he established his reputation during the first forty years of the twentieth century. FitzGerald describes the care, patience, and resourcefulness invested by Paul Rosenberg, Picasso's dealer and close collaborator from 1918 to 1940, in building the financial value and public acceptance of Picasso's art. The book is based on and quotes generously from previously unpublished correspondence between Picasso and dealers, collectors, and museum curators.
