About the Item
Picasso's *Colombe volant (à l'Arc-en-ciel)* is a captivating example of his mastery in the realm of printmaking. This color lithograph, signed and dated in the lower right corner, features the symbolic dove, a recurring motif in Picasso's work, rendered in a vibrant and expressive style. The piece measures 43.7 x 56.5 cm, beautifully capturing the essence of the Classical Modern and Expressionist movements.
The lithograph was produced in a limited edition of 200, with this particular print being number 76, as indicated by the stamp on the reverse that reads "Diffusion nouvelle image." The interplay of colors and bold lines in this work reflects Picasso’s innovative approach to both form and symbolism, where the dove is not just an image of peace but an emblem of freedom and transcendence.
This piece stands as a testament to Picasso's ability to blend classical techniques with modern sensibilities, making it a significant work within the broader context of 20th-century art. It is a perfect example of how printmaking can transcend its traditional bounds, offering a rich, layered visual experience.

Pablo Picasso
One of the most prolific and revolutionary artists the world has ever seen, Pablo Picasso had a tremendous impact on the development of 20th-century modern art. Although he is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he founded with Georges Braque, Picasso’s influence extends to Surrealism, neoclassicism and Expressionism.
“Every act of creation is, first of all, an act of destruction,” the Spanish artist proclaimed. In Picasso's Cubist paintings, he emphasizes the two-dimensionality of the canvas, breaking with conventions regarding perspective, foreshortening and proportion. Picasso was inspired by Iberian and African tribal art. One of his most famous pre-Cubist works is Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), a painting considered immoral and shocking at the time for its depiction of nude women whose faces resemble Iberian tribal masks.
Picasso made many portraits in this style, most often of the women in his life, their expressively colored faces composed of geometric shards of surface planes. In Woman in a Hat (Olga), 1935, he painted his first wife as an assemblage of abstract forms, leaving the viewer to decipher the subject through the contrasting colors and shapes. Picasso was a tireless artist, creating more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculptures. Tracing his life’s work reveals the progression of modern art, on which he had an unparalleled influence.

By Corneille
