""In fact, when the painter mounted his own retrospective in Paris in 1932, he hung the works not according to chronology but jumbled together. He wanted to give visitors “glimpses into the personal connections he saw in his own creations,” writes the gallerist Larry Gagosian in the introduction to “Picasso: Tête-À-Tète” (Rizzoli, 212 pages, $100). The volume, produced in collaboration with the artist’s daughter Paloma, takes inspiration from the 1932 show, pairing objects in a manner that leaps between decades, styles and media to capture the artist’s flitting energies. For example, the toothy and geometric 1931 painting “Le Baiser” (“The Kiss”) faces “Le Baiser II” from 1969, a more sensuous iteration of the theme, rendered in swirling grays and off-whites. As Ms. Picasso puts it: “There’s a lot of chatter going on between these works—like we’re eavesdropping at a party.'"" — THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.
