This image was primarily carved out by contemporary French criticism and historians as well as foreign critics writing in France. Therefore the major emphasis in this study will be on the French writing. Responses to Picasso in art magazine, intellectual journals, books and newspapers will be analyzed; to a much lesser extent the informal comments of friends will be noted." - Introduction. 39 illustrations.
