"'The most everyday object is a vessel; a vehicle of my thoughts.' In Picasso's hands, cardboard, paper, and rope metamorphose into a guitar, a goat, a woman. His friend, the great photography Edward Quinn, a privileged witness to Picasso's creative moments, recreates them here in 80 pages of everyday objects issued in an imaginary world." -- from back wrapper. Includes an illustrated index. Printed in black-and-white and color.
