A book is like a friend. We understand the world and life, or even observe ourselves through texts, and have a deep realization of oneself that we are not alone. PMQ invites different people from design and culture to recommend a book, so that you can enrich yourselves as book therapy.

Why would you recommend this book?

There's a saying from famous artist Picasso - Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Keeping an innocent heart is perhaps the reason that led to Picasso's success "Picasso’s Trousers" looks like a book for children, recounting Picasso's life with illustrations. Whenever Picasso does something different, people say, “No! No! No! Picasso!” But Picasso doesn’t listen. Instead, he says . . . “Yes!”.

Picasso’s Trousers

Author: Nicholas Allan

Publisher:HOXTON MINI PRESS

He never compromised. He has painted all-blue or all-pink works, and painted portraits that originated Cubism. He could draw a picture in 60 seconds, and he also created sculpture. The famous bull head sculpture made by recycled old bicycles at home. Be like Picasso, keep an innocent heart and have faith in yourself that you can embrace your dreams.
