They also explore his constant gaze toward popular, or \"folk\" performance, such as the circus, the corrida, flamenco dancers, the \"othered\" in society, and groups who use performance as an emancipatory tool. This beautifully designed book addresses head-on some of the complexities of Picasso's life and work from a highly unusual and compelling perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWu Tsang\u003c\/b\u003e is a filmmaker, artist, and performer based in New York and Berlin.
