PABLO PICASSO
The 1950s-1960s are another chapter in Picasso's work. The post-war period was dominated by the emergence of Abstract Expressionism in New York and Informal Art in Europe. Resolutely hostile to the very idea of abstract art, even if Cubism had partly fueled it, Picasso instead developed his work in two opposing directions.

Also included were psychoanalytical studies and artistic aspects of anthropology and ethnography. It was a lavish and extravagant magazine by the standards of the 1930s, profusely illustrated with high quality reproductions of art, often in color.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]The review was originally founded by E. Tériade (Stratis Eleftheriadis) and Albert Skira with the desire to produce a lavish magazine on "The plastic arts - poetry - music - architecture - ethnography and mythology - theater - psychoanalytical studies and observations."[3] Although not intended to be strictly a surrealist review, Albert Skira had been associating with André Breton and others in the movement and invited their input, even before the first issue was published. Skira's only restriction for Breton was that he not use the review as a forum to advocate his political views.[2] The original editor was E. T
