"Portrait de Famille Quatre Personnages dont Trois Assis", (1962), lithograph, 430xx580mm; 17" x 23 7/8", full margins with full Arches watermark. Signed in red pencil by the artist and numbered 48/50 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression [Bloch 1033; Reube 835]. Pablo Picasso's (1881-1973) graphic artworks are highlighted by a clearly defined succession of periods, in each of which a certain technique predominates. The early copper plate etchings and drypoints were followed between 1919-1930 by his occasional lithographs. The year 1945 marks the inception of his great lithograph works. But for all the styles and periods that serve as markers for his work, they are in reality only phase displacements of an unchanging creative will. Graphic art for Picasso seemed to hold a function like that for on other artist in the 20th century: that of a focal point for all the creative impulses started by historical events, by meetings and personal experiences. "Portrait de Famille Quatre Personnages dont Trois Assis" is in a 35 3/16" x 43 3/4" carved Spanish styled frame finished in black over a deep red with red highlights showing through the black. The beaded wood fillet has a matching black over red highlighted finish. The Titian gold linen outer and desert sand inner acid and lignin free mats are protected with Acrylite-AR OP3 (UV) by CYRO .... SALE PENDING |
