Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Picasso's Demoiselles, eminent art historian Suzanne Preston Blier uncovers the previously unknown history of Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d?Avignon, one of the twentieth century's most important, celebrated, and studied paintings.

Simply put, Blier fundamentally transforms what we know about this revolutionary and iconic work.…
