Tete de Mort et Livre, Cubist Lithograph by Pablo Picasso

1979-1982

About the Item

Opened to a page full of text, the book in this still life by Pablo Picasso is held open by a skull sitting atop it. Surrounded by angular shapes divided by straight lines, the geometric composition is reminiscent of other Cubist works by the artist. A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after the Pablo Picasso painting "Tete de Mort et Livre". The original painting was completed in 1946. In the 1970's after Picasso's death, Marina Picasso, his granddaughter, authorized the creation of this lithograph by Laurent Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. The limited edition print run was completed and published by Marina Picasso in conjunction with Jackie Fine Arts in 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed and numbered by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer's chop, lower left.
