A delightful, colorful face of a clown-like figure graces the title page of "The Private World of Pablo Picasso". Written and photographed by David Douglas Duncan over the course of his 6-month stay in Picasso and Jacqueline's home, this book became a collaboration between the three. Intimate yet not intrusive, this book provides amazing insight into the then 75 year artist's world, both personal and professional. With the addition of the clown drawing in crayon by Pablo Picasso himself, one can see how creative and good natured the artist was.
Created on August 18, 1958, this crayon drawing is featured in the book, "The Private World of Pablo Picasso", published by Harper & Brothers and written by David Douglas Duncan. It is hand-signed in dark blue crayon by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, 1973) in the upper right and also features a hand-written date of '16.6.58.' in dark blue crayon on the right.
