Pablo Picasso
Grande Maternité

1963

About the Item

“Picasso wrote painting as other children wrote their a b c. He was born making drawings, not the drawings of a child but the drawings of a painter”. - Gertrude Stein Created in 1963, Picasso was 82 at the time, this lithograph depicts a woman tenderly holding her child in her arm, in a pose that reminds us of the Virgin Mary and Jesus, as if trying to protect him with all her love and tenderness. She is so totally absorbed with her child, pressing his soft body closer to herself. Her hair is collected in a soft green ribbon with small pink and blue flowers. Even the celestial background, which surrounds the lovesome face of the mother, creates a connection with the heavenly Virgin Mary, and recalls his 1905 painting “Maternidad” of Rose Period. The whole composition is drawn on the curved line through which Picasso managed to transmit an infinity of emotions and sensations with unique simplicity and beauty. Probably it is the prodigious talent for drawing that makes Picasso one of the most important artist of the 20th century. Created in 1963, it is a transfer on the lithographic stone from Picasso's original crayon drawing . The image was part of a series of works created by Picasso in 1963 and donated to the "Movement de la Paix du Mond" (World Peace Movement). Signature and date are in the plate and placed in the upper left corner.
