PICASSO, PABLO

DOCUMENT SIGNED ("PICASSO"), ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF EIGHTEEN DOCUMENTS FROM ÉDITIONS DE LA PLEIADE,

which Picasso had lent to Boris Kochno for his book on the Ballets of Diaghilev, 1 page, oblong 8vo (c.12.5 x 21cm), Paris, 9 May 1931

"...Reçu de Éditions de la Pléiade 18 documents prêtés par moi à Boris Kochno, pour un édition sur les Ballets de Diaghilew..." 

Picasso designed several of Diaghilev's epoch-making productions, notably Satie's ballet Parade (1917), Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat (1919) and Stravinsky's Pulcinella (1921). Boris Kochno's book Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes was not published until 1970 (in English), although he produced a number of exhibitions and smaller works on the Ballets Russes before that.
