Written by Danièle Giraudy, the former curator of the Musée Picasso in Antibes, this specialized guide explores the unique relationship between Pablo Picasso and the Château Grimaldi. The book details the prolific period in 1946 when the artist used the castle as his studio, resulting in the "Antipolis" series and the masterpiece La Joie de vivre. It features rare photographs of Picasso at work, alongside historical context and descriptions of the ceramics and paintings held in the permanent collection. This softcover edition is in good vintage condition with some light shelf wear and minor bumping to the corners, while the interior remains clean and well-bound with no significant foxing or markings.
