André Salmon and Picasso, “Greatest Artist of His Era”
Abstract
André Salmon and Pablo Picasso enjoyed a close relationship from 1905 onwards and Salmon’s poetry and prose offer exceptionally clear-sighted responses to Picasso’s work. Writing as an insider and eye-witness, Salmon provides vivid insights and key information on individual works, but also identifies and highlights significant turning points in the artist’s development. Picasso cold-shouldered Salmon from 1935 to 1951, because of his journalistic activities. Once reconciled, they saw each other regularly in Sanary-sur-Mer and a late Picasso drawing indicates his interest in La Terreur noire, Salmon’s 1959 history of anarchism.
