A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In his linocuts, Pablo Picasso combined his talent as a draftsman with his use of abundant colours. This printing technique appealed immensely to the Spanish artist because it enabled him to create graphics which equalled his paintings in terms of their striking contrasts of colour. In the 1950s Picasso became very involved with the linocut. His enthusiastic use of the medium provoked a renaissance in its use, which had declined in the early 1900s. This publication came about as a result of an exhibition conceived by the Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso in Münster. In addition to describing Picasso s unconventional handling of this printing technique, this book also recounts the history of the linocut and the circumstances in which the artist created his works. This volume contains around 100 illustrations depicting bull fighting scenes, mythological scenes and portraits. Countless artist s proofs and trial proofs attest to Picasso s experimental approach to the medium of the linocut, often reworking the original piece between colours. Above all these works, created between 1954 and 1968, document the mature work of this Spanish artist. Interestingly, at the same time the works convey the almost youthful buoyancy of an artist of over 70 who once more became an apprentice of a technique that was new to him.
