James Lord was an American writer. He was the author of several books, including critically acclaimed biographies of Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso. He appeared in the documentary films Balthus Through the Looking Glass and Picasso: Magic, Sex, Death.
Lord was born in Englewood, New Jersey, and grew up there. His father was a stockbroker, and until the Wall Street crash the family lived, as Mr. Lord put it, in "the lower echelons of the upper classes".
He served in the United States Army during World War II, keeping his homosexuality carefully hidden.
