PICASSO FRIENDS AND FAMILY GEBUNDEN

"He doesn't bother me " Picasso commented of the photographer Edward Quinn  after the latter
had first photographed him at work in the ceramics studio in the early 1950s. This was
undoubtedly one of the reasons why Quinn was allowed to accompany the artist with his Leica for
over 20 years from 1951 onwards during his time on the Côte d'Azur: in the studio  in private
with his family  with artist friends  at the bullfight  out and about  with lovers or simply at
the hairdresser's. The Quinn Archive holds a large stock of photographs of great intimacy 
showing Picasso in everyday life and documenting his idiosyncratic character  his humor  and
his enthusiasm in an amiable and light-hearted way. Edward Quinn did not use a tripod with his
camera  nor did he illuminate the room artificially  his main concern was to capture genuine
pictures. As a viewer  you find yourself on eye level with the protagonists. Almost like in the
street photography we know today  there is a captivating sense of the casual moment. This book
is a magical selection of photographs from Picasso's everyday life and shows the famous artist
in many unexpected situations. From 1949  EDWARD QUINN (1920  Dublin-1997  Altendorf
Switzerland) lived and worked on the Côte d'Azur as a press photographer for international
magazines such as Life and Paris Match . During his 20-year friendship with Picasso  he took
more than 12 000 photographs of the artist. From the 1960s onwards  Quinn concentrated his work
entirely on the art scene  portraying the likes of Max Ernst  Alexander Calder  Francis Bacon 
Salvador Dalí  Graham Sutherland  David Hockney and Georg Baselitz.
