Another amazing find purchased for little to nothing from the sale rack at the MECA Joanne Waxman library:Picasso and Portraiture: Representation and Transformation, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. I'm sure that I will share more from this book in the future - it's fat as a bible and chock full of gorgeous images - many of which I am unfamiliar with. But for now, here are some of Picasso's self-portraits, along with a few photographs of the Bull/Man.
Damn, his work is powerful.

These photos are so great. I always feel a special connection to Picasso having been born on his birthday.
This particular book sounds very interesting...the portrait.
Guess you were at the right place at the right time!!! Great find! I always feel like the cat that swallowed the canary when I come home with something so precious for next to nothing.
Yes... his work is so very powerful. Love his self portraits... especially the early ones. What a great find!
Hi Blue
Wow, the same birthday as Picasso! What day is that? I always think of him as a Taurus because of all his minotaurs, but he's Scorpio, right?
Hi KaHolly!
The great books I get at that library are actually marked for discard!
Hi Brenda
I'll be sure to post more from this book - it's loaded with wonderful portraits!
Martha, OUR birthday is Oct. 25th.
Loved his play and his deep strong eyes.
What a great birthday buddy for you to have!
Let's see - who shares my birthday? Jerry Lewis. "Hey Laaaady!"
My daughter Lisbeth is the 27th of October and she's a TRIPLE Scorpio! Sun, moon and rising signs, all in Scorpio. Intense!
