Picasso en offrit un exemplaire à sa maîtresse Dora Maar, pour lesquelles il exécuta les dessins et la dédicace. *********************** '' Le 17 janvier 1943, Picasso offre à Dora Maar, son modèle favori et sa maîtresse depuis sept ans, un exemplaire du bestiaire gravé que lui a commandé Ambroise Vollard sur des textes de l'Histoire naturelle de Buffon. Il revient une semaine plus tard et couvre le livre de quarante-quatre dessins à la plume et au lavis représentant des animaux et des visages. Un tel exemplaire n'a pas d'équivalent parmi les livres de Picasso. Exceptionnel par le nombre et la qualité des dessins, par leur relation en partie énigmatique avec les planches et les textes choisis, ce cadeau splendide annonce aussi, plus intimement, la fin d'un amour, révélant sa morsure cruelle. Entré par dation dans les collections de la Réserve des livres rares en 1999, cet ouvrage n'avait jamais été intégralement reproduit. Son édition en fac-similé est assortie d'une étude illustrée pour en mesurer l'importance dans l'oeuvre et la vie du peintre.

Condition: Fine. This striking aquatint engraving is from the work after Pablo Picasso and Georges Louis Leclerc comte de Buffon entitled "Eaux-Fortes Originales pour des Textes de Buffon". The work was published in Paris by Martin Fabiani in 1942. This is from number 59 of a total edition of 226 with this being one of the 55 special printings on và lin de Montval. The aquatints were printed by Roger Lacourià re after original art by Pablo Picasso. --- "The Buffon is one of the greatest bestiaries of the 20th century. Picasso began these etchings in 1936 (he had promised them to Vollard, who died before their completion; Fabiani was one of Vollard's associates). It appears that the artist executed them rapidly, and with the utmost freedom. The master printer Lacourià re had introduced Picasso, as well as Rouault and other artists, to the lift-ground or sugar aquatint process, which allowed a variety of tones and textures within a limited range. The spontaneity of the plates is attested by the freehand margins, the rapidly drawn line, and the use of fingerprints for textural variety." (Garvey, The Artist & the Book, 231) --- This aquatint is an artistic and wonderful interpretation after Pablo Picasso created from Buffon's work. Buffon's work became one of the most informative sources as far as the visual appearance of animals, and was highly understandable for a wide audience. Buffon described his work and love for natural history by stating that, "Natural history embraces all the objects the universe presents to us. This prodigious multitude of quadrupeds, birds, fish, insects, plants, minerals, etc., offers to the curiosity of the human mind a vast spectacle, of which the whole is so great that the details are inexhaustible." --- Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theater designer. Most of his career was spent in France. He was one of the most eminent artists of the 20th century. He is arguably the most important figure to art and art movements in the 1900s. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or faint marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 14 1/4" by 11 1/4".

Condition: Fine. This striking aquatint engraving is from the work after Pablo Picasso and Georges Louis Leclerc comte de Buffon entitled "Eaux-Fortes Originales pour des Textes de Buffon". The work was published in Paris by Martin Fabiani in 1942. This is from number 59 of a total edition of 226 with this being one of the 55 special printings on và lin de Montval. The aquatints were printed by Roger Lacourià re after original art by Pablo Picasso. --- "The Buffon is one of the greatest bestiaries of the 20th century. Picasso began these etchings in 1936 (he had promised them to Vollard, who died before their completion; Fabiani was one of Vollard's associates). It appears that the artist executed them rapidly, and with the utmost freedom. The master printer Lacourià re had introduced Picasso, as well as Rouault and other artists, to the lift-ground or sugar aquatint process, which allowed a variety of tones and textures within a limited range. The spontaneity of the plates is attested by the freehand margins, the rapidly drawn line, and the use of fingerprints for textural variety." (Garvey, The Artist & the Book, 231) --- This aquatint is an artistic and wonderful interpretation after Pablo Picasso created from Buffon's work. Buffon's work became one of the most informative sources as far as the visual appearance of animals, and was highly understandable for a wide audience. Buffon described his work and love for natural history by stating that, "Natural history embraces all the objects the universe presents to us. This prodigious multitude of quadrupeds, birds, fish, insects, plants, minerals, etc., offers to the curiosity of the human mind a vast spectacle, of which the whole is so great that the details are inexhaustible." --- Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theater designer.
