Reviews

‘This highly readable overview of Picasso’s drawing emphasises how the artist’s superior abilities 

as a draughtsman allowed for his rapid assimilation of trends and techniques into his art’ 

– Rachel Mustalish, The Burlington Magazine, August 2019

 

‘Lloyd … is an elegant writer, as fluid in his delivery as he is sharp in his judgements …
This is a consistently fascinating study of Picasso’s insatiable impulse for mark-making’
– Christian House, ‘A Magic Trick Explained’, The Art Newspaper, October 2018
