(3) YA Illustrated by David Diaz. Free verse poems chronicle the dramatic life of modern art's pinnacle figure. Rather than glossing over Picasso's flaws--his womanizing, his self-absorption, etc.--they are Bernier-Grand's intriguing focus. The poetry is powerful but challenging, though extensive back matter clarifies biographical details. Diaz's acrylic, charcoal, and varnish illustrations are commanding; some reproductions of Picasso's most famous works are also included. Timeline. Bib., glos.
