The sorcerer's apprentice : Picasso, Provence, and Douglas Cooper / John Richardson - 1st ed. - New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 1999 - 318 p. : illus. ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (p. 305-306) and index.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is John Richardson's vivid memoir of the time he spent living with and learning from the deeply knowledgeable and temperamental art collector, Douglas Cooper. For ten years the two entertained a circle of friends that included Jean Cocteau, W. H. Auden, Tennessee Williams, and, most intriguingly, Pablo Picasso. Compulsively readable and beautifully illustrated, this book is both a triple portrait of the author, Cooper, and Picasso, and a revealing look at a crucial artistic period.
