In 1931, a young 25-year-old Albert Skira, upon the suggestion of Pierre Matisse, convinced Pablo Picasso to illustrate Ovid’s Metamorphoses with 30 etchings.
This stunning glass encased edition, in only 145 copies, was the first publication of the new-born Skira.
The extensive volume is 412 pages and includes the etchings both in (15) and outside the text (15). The anastatic copy is, like the original edition, in French, with an introduction text in English.
