Picasso: A BiographyEverything about Picasso, except his physical stature, was on an enormous scale. No painter of the first rank has been so awe inspiringly productive. No painter of any rank has made so much money. A few painters have rivaled his life span of ninety years, but none has attracted so avid, so insatiable, a public interest.

Everything about Picasso, except his physical stature, was on an enormous scale. No painter of the first rank has been so awe-inspiringly productive. No painter of any rank has made so much money. A few painters have rivaled his life span of ninety years, but none has attracted so avid, so insatiable, a public interest.

Patrick O'Brian knew Picasso sufficiently well to have a strong sense of his personality. The man that emerges from this scholarly, passionate, and brilliantly written biography is one of many contradictions: hard and tender, mean and generous, affectionate and cold, private despite the relish of his fame. In his later years he professed communism, yet in O'Brian's view retained to the end of his life a residual Catholic outlook.

Not that such matters were allowed to interfere with his vigorous sensuality. Sex and money, eating and drinking, friends and quarrels, comedies and tragedies, suicides and wars tumble one another in the vast chaos of his experience. he was "a man almost as lonely as the sun, but one who glowed with much the same fierce, burning life." It is with that impression of its subject that this book leaves its readers.

Nice light large hoops
Bought as a replacement for a set of my favorite earrings. These are a close second. The clasp on one isn’t quite as tight as the other, but they stay on well

Style and fit
The pic makes them look oval, but they are actually round. That would be fine, but they are also a bit difficult to open and close.

Cheap in all respects
I mean, how much can I complain about stainless earrings that don't even last three months? The hoop was fine, but the clasp wouldn't stay closed and then snapped off within three months. Worth the price? Kinda on the fence about that.
