Description
Between 1958 and 1961 Picasso made many linocuts, a process that he found hugely stimulating.
First issued in signed editions of 50 by Galerie Louise Leiris, many of which now sell at between 8,000 and 80,000 each. Picasso invented the reduction method, progressively cutting the same linoblock for each new colour, making it impossible to take any further prints from the original block.
In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and Galerie Louise Leiris, new linoleum plates were made at 42% of the original size, and it was from these that the prints on offer here were made.
