Hamilton Cain, The Wall Street JournalA beguiling read, as ingenious as it is ambitious . . . See Picasso and Paris shimmering with new light. Mark Braude, author of Kiki Man Ray: Art, Love, and Rivalry in 1920s ParisBorn from her probing inquiry into Picassos odyssey in France, which inspired a museum exhibition of the same name, historian AnnieCohen Solals Picasso the Foreigner presents a bold new understanding of the artists career and his relationship with the country he called home.Winner of the 2021 Prix Femina EssaiBefore Picasso became Picassothe iconic artist now celebrated as one of Frances leading figureshe was constantly surveilled by the French police. Amid political tensions in the spring of 1901, he was flagged as an anarchist by the security servicesthe first of many entries in an extensive case file. Though he soon emerged as the leader of the cubist avantgarde, and became increasingly wealthy as his reputation grew worldwide, Picassos art was largely excluded from public collections in France for the next four decades. The genius who conceived Guernica in 1937 as a visceral statement against fascism was even denied French citizenship three years later, on the eve of the Nazi occupation. In a country where the police and the conservative Acadmie des BeauxArts represented two major pillars of the establishment at the time, Picasso faced a triple stigmaas a foreigner, a political radical, and an avantgarde artist.Picasso the Foreigner approaches the artists career and art from an entirely new angle, making extensive use of fascinating and longoverlooked archival sources. In this groundbreaking narrative, Picasso emerges as an artist ahead of his time not only aesthetically but politically, one who ignored national modes in favor of contemporary cosmopolitan forms. Annie CohenSolal reveals how, in a period encompassing the brutality of World War I, the Nazi occupation, and Cold War rivalries, Picasso strategized and fought to preserve his agency, eventually leaving Paris for good in 1955. He chose the south over the north, the provinces over the capital, and craftspeople over academicians, while simultaneously achieving widespread fame. The artist never became a citizen of France, yet he generously enriched and dynamized the countrys culture like few other figures in its history. This book, for the first time, explains how.Includes color images
