Printing was finished on July 21, 1950, under the direction of the author, on the presses of E. Durand, master printer in Paris for typography, and G. Leblanc, master engraver in Paris for engraving. About the Publication: L’Age de Soleil (The Age of the Sun), published in Paris in 1950 by Aux Depens de L’Auteur under the direction of Robert-J. Godet, is a distinguished illustrated edition that reflects Pablo Picasso’s continued engagement with poetic text, symbolic imagery, and the livre d’artiste tradition in the postwar period. Conceived as a highly refined collaboration between artist, author, printer, and engraver, the publication integrates original engravings by Picasso with a carefully structured typographic program executed by master printers in Paris. The edition was produced in multiple tiers on fine papers including Arches, velin du Marais, and velin, with select examples featuring additional states and variations of the engravings, demonstrating the technical and aesthetic ambitions of the project. Printed under the direction of Georges Leblanc for the engraving and E. Durand for typography, the publication exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century French printmaking. Through its synthesis of text and image, L’Age de Soleil stands as an important example of Picasso’s contributions to illustrated editions, embodying his ability to translate poetic and symbolic themes into a compelling visual language while maintaining exceptional technical precision. About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picasso’s career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d’Alger (Version “O”) achieved a record-breaking sale of $179,365,000 at Christie’s, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picasso’s enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.
