Picasso by Stein

Picasso as creator: fills and empties himself; fills and empties himself – of Spain, of France, of Italy; refills himself so quickly, he must recommence emptying himself of his different periods: blue, rose or harlequin, African, Cubism, still-lifes. Realistic, Naturalist, and Classic. Cubes, no cubes, and simply things. Large women and women with draperies. Period of rest – nothing to empty. That is his way. Picasso by Stein.
