New York, Rizzoli, 1981. Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Oatmeal cloth, yellow and color illus. dust jacket, illus. flyleaves, 300 pp. profusely illus. in BW and color. "Takes the form of a collage of photos and writings which retrace a life-time of encounters by Roland Penrose with artists, poets, writers and many others. Most of the people in the book have helped to shape the development of twentieth century art. For many years Penrose knew Picasso, Braque, Max Ernst, Miro, Man Ray, Henry Moore, Sandy Calder, Francis Bacon and many other contemporary artists and poets. He visited them (or they visited him) and working closely with them these relationships became an integral part of Penrose's life." (dj) Much browsing fun, here. VG.
