In addition, Kirk Varnedoe, director, and Kynaston McShine in the de partment of painting and Clive Philpot, the librarian, have been unfail ingly helpful. The backing of William Rubin, director emeritus of the museum and most assiduous of Picasso scholars, has been especially heartening. Gratitude also to my friends at the Museum of Modern Art for their co operation. In supplying photographs, untiring efforts to satisfy the needs of the book were made by Maria Teresa Ocana, the director, and Margarita Ferrer at the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, Mont serrat Blanch at the Arxiu Mas and Caroline de Lambertye at the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, Paris. The librarian, François Chapon, and staff of the Bibliothèque Littéraire Jacques Doucet have likewise been of great service. I am enormously indebted to Dominique Bozo, the first curator-in charge of the Musée Picasso, who was unfailingly supportive to his suc cessors, Pierre Georgel and Gérard Régnier to Marie-Laure BesnardBernadac for scholarly assistance of inestimable value also to Brigitte Léal, Laurence Berthon-Marceillac, Christine Piot, Michèle Richet and Hélène Seckel, for solving any number of problems. Thanks, also, to the artist’s children: Claude and Paloma and her husband, Rafael Lopez Sanchez to his daughter-in-law, Christine Picasso to his nephew, Javier Vilatô to his family in Malaga, Manuel Blasco and Ricardo Huelin and to Jacqueline’s daughter, Catherine Hutin-Blay, for all their help. So long as Pablo Picasso and his wife, Jacqueline, were alive, they gave me every encouragement in this project. Barcelona, 1899Charcoal on paper, 47x53.2cm.

“Music should be divided into two slices with a line in the middle: good music and bad music. After that, I took a break and then I was listening to King Crimson’s Discipline. Then I was working with files sent from Sly And Robbie for a future project. This morning after I woke up, I started my day listening to music by Erik Satie.

“I love music, full stop, and I follow my instinct wherever it goes. I want that energy and interaction that comes from working together.”Ĭreativity is all about the challenge, he says, pushing where the inspiration takes you, rather than worrying about where fans might expect or want you to go. After 10 years of solo gigging around the world, I really wanted a band to play the music from Magnetic.
