A propos de cet article

This exceptional and unique work by Pablo Picasso is a collotype with hand-coloring in red and blue crayon.
** Hand-signed by Picasso in blue crayon in the lower right.
** The work is hand-embellished in red and blue crayon.

** While Diurnes was published as a portfolio of thirty compositions, the present work belongs to a highly exclusive parallel group of unique impressions.
Issued in Paris under the direction of the legendary dealer and Picassos confidant, Heinz Berggruen, a select number of works were personally reworked in red and blue crayon by Picasso.
** For Berggruen, acting as both publisher and close friend, Picasso hand-colored individual motifs, applying chalk and personal interventions that transformed these impressions into autonomous, unique artworks.
** This exceptional work represents the zenith of the artistic synergy between Pablo Picasso and the photographer André Villers. The Diurnes series is a masterclass in mid-century experimentation, merging Picasso?s avant-garde découpages (paper cut-outs) with Villers sophisticated photographic techniques. Together, they populated mythological landscapes with satyrs, goats, and neoclassical profiles, creating a body of work that blurs the line between photography and the plastic arts.
*** The institutional significance of this hand-colored series is unparalleled. Comparable works from this Berggruen-linked lineage are held in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Gift of Olivier and Désirée Berggruen). Furthermore, the Museum Berggruen in Berlin stands as a testament to this historical collaboration, cementing the relationship between Picasso and the Berggruen circle as one of the most vital conduits of 20th-century modernism.
*** Originating from a distinguished Berlin private collection, the present work follows this prestigious line of descent. It is not merely a document of a collaboration, but a rare instance of Picassos direct physical intervention on a photographic medium. Distinguished by its hand-applied elements and impeccable provenance, this work offers a rare opportunity for the connoisseur to acquire a piece of Picassos experimental legacy.

** Professionally framed, mounted on linen and float-mounted in a custom-made linen passe-partout, presented in a handcrafted exclusive wooden frame with Plexiglas® Optical HC (UV protection, scratch resistant, and minimal reflection).
Framed size approx. 80 x 70 cm.
