About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Lutte entre Teree et sa belle sœur (Struggle Between Tereus and His Sister-in-Law), originates from the rare 1970 folio Suite des reproductions des Eaux-fortes de Pablo Picasso pour illustrer les Metamorphoses d'Ovide. Published and printed by Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve, in collaboration with Albert Skira, Geneve, this edition presents faithful reproductions of the original etchings created by Picasso in 1930–31 for the landmark illustrated book Les Metamorphoses d'Ovide. The composition depicts the violent confrontation between King Tereus and his sister-in-law Procne, following his cruel betrayal of her sister Philomela. Picasso captures the ferocity of the myth with dramatic tension and neoclassical precision, rendering the human form with sculptural intensity and psychological depth. Executed on velin papier Verge fin blanc des papeteries de Bellerive, this lithograph measures 11.02 x 8.66 inches (28 x 22 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized 1970 publication format. This edition, produced under Albert Skira’s supervision, preserves the linear vigor, tonal balance, and expressive force of the original copper etchings created by Picasso for the 1931 deluxe edition of Les Metamorphoses d'Ovide, one of the most celebrated artist’s books of the 20th century.

About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision and restless creativity reshaped the trajectory of modern art. Born in Málaga, Spain, Picasso demonstrated exceptional talent from an early age, studying at the Royal Academy of San Fernando before settling in Paris, the artistic epicenter of the early 20th century. There, his pioneering spirit gave rise to groundbreaking movements, most notably Cubism, developed alongside Georges Braque, which revolutionized visual representation by deconstructing form and perspective. Over his prolific seven-decade career, Picasso’s work evolved through distinct stylistic periods—the Blue, Rose, African, and Classical phases—culminating in a body of art that embraced experimentation, emotional depth, and innovation. His influence and dialogue with fellow visionaries Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray shaped the foundation of modernism, while his legacy continues to resonate through the work of post-war and contemporary artists such as Banksy, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, and Jasper Johns. Together, these artists collectively expanded the boundaries of art in the 20th and 21st centuries. Picasso’s staggering output of more than 20,000 works—spanning painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawing, and printmaking—embodies his belief that “art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” His creations are housed in the world’s foremost museums, including the Musée Picasso in Paris, MoMA in New York, the Guggenheim, and the Tate in London. The highest price ever paid for a Picasso artwork is approximately $179.4 million USD at Christie’s New York in 2015 for Les Femmes d’Alger (Version O) (1955).
