This catalogue features linocuts made by Pablo Picasso between the years 1959 and 1963. The masterful artist employed many printing techniques, including lithography, etching, drypoint, and monotype. By the late 1950s, he increasingly turned his attention to lino-cutting, eventually developing a new approach to the process in which he re-cut the same linoleum block in order to apply each color, rather than using a new block for every application. Reproductions include portraits of the artist's muse and wife, Jacqueline Roque, as well as a portrait series that is an homage to the work of El Greco.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. This catalogue, which accompanies an exhibition held at Gagosian Gallery in Athens, features landmark linocut prints made by Pablo Picasso between 1959 and 1963. Pablo Picasso restlessly explored the medium of the print throughout his life, employing many techniques including lithography, etching, drypoint, and monotype. By the late 1950s, he was spending most of his time in the south of France, and the distance between him and his Parisian printers became increasingly difficult for smooth production. He turned his attention to lino-cutting, a very direct way of working whereby a design is cut into a sheet of linoleum using a knife, chisel, or gouge. His first linocut was a simple black-and-white print, but by 1959 he was using the technique as a complete means of expression. His subjects ranged from Jacqueline Roque, his muse, wife, and constant companion, to Old Master portraits in which he pays homage to El Greco. Seller Inventory # 153965
