John Berger
The Success and Failure of Picasso

I dedicate this book to my Anya, to Ernst Fischer, and to the memory of Max Raphael,[1] a forgotten but great critic. The three of them persuaded me.

I would like to acknowledge the help of Tony Richardson throughout all stages of the production of this book — and especially for all his work in the tracing and collecting of the plates.
