Pablo Picasso, The Bull, from Natural History, 1970 (after)
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Le Taureau (The Bull), from the folio Picasso, Eaux-fortes originales pour des textes de Buffon, Histoire naturelle, Suite des prints des eaux-fortes de Pablo Picasso pour illustrer les textes de Buffon (Original Etchings for the Texts of Buffon, Natural History: Suite of the Prints of the Etchings by Pablo Picasso to Illustrate the Texts of Buffon), originates from the 1970 edition published and printed by Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve, with the authorization and permission of Martin Fabiani, Editeur, Paris, 1970. The composition reflects Picassos mastery of line, wit, and natural form, harmonizing artistic imagination with the scientific and poetic spirit of Buffon’s zoological texts. Executed as a lithograph on papier bouffant des Papeteries de Casteljoux paper, this work measures 12.99 x 9.84 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex. Artwork Details: Artist: After Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) Title: Le Taureau (The Bull), from the folio Picasso, Eaux-fortes originales pour des textes de Buffon, Histoire naturelle, Suite des prints des eaux-fortes de Pablo Picasso pour illustrer les textes de Buffon (Original Etchings for the Texts of Buffon, Natural History: Suite of the Prints of the Etchings by Pablo Picasso to Illustrate the Texts of Buffon) Medium: Lithograph on papier bouffant des Papeteries de Casteljoux paper Dimensions: 12.99 x 9.84 inches (33 x 25 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1970 Publisher: Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve, with the authorization of Martin Fabiani, Editeur, Paris Printer: Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Picasso, Eaux-fortes originales pour des textes de Buffon, Histoire naturelle, Suite des prints des eaux-fortes de Pablo Picasso pour illustrer les textes de Buffon (Original Etchings for the Texts of Buffon, Natural History: Suite of the Prints of the Etchings by Pablo Picasso to Illustrate the Texts of Buffon), published and printed by Production Edito-Service S.A., Le Grand-Saconnex, Canton of Geneve, 1970 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French): Picasso, eaux-fortes originales pour des textes de Buffon. At the expense and care of Martin Fabiani, this book was completed to be printed in Paris on May XXVI MCM XLII. Pablo Picasso's original XXXI eaux-fortes were drawn by R. Lacouriere and the printing of texts by M. Fequet and P. Baudier. Justification of the draw. CCXXVI examples. N°1. — single example on papier verge Ancien with a suite on papier Ancien bleute; II to VI. V examples on Japon Super-Nacre with a sequel on Chine; VII to XXXVI. XXX examples on Japon Imperial with a suite on Chine; XXXVII to XCI. LV examples on velin of Montval; XCII to CCXXVI. CXXXV examples on velin de Vidalon. This second edition, 25 x 33 cm, was created with the permission of Martin Fabiani, publisher in Paris, on papier bouffant des Papeteries de Casteljoux. About the Publication: The 1970 edition of Picasso, Eaux-fortes originales pour des textes de Buffon, Histoire naturelle, Suite des prints des eaux-fortes de Pablo Picasso pour illustrer les textes de Buffon (Original Etchings for the Texts of Buffon, Natural History: Suite of the Prints of the Etchings by Pablo Picasso to Illustrate the Texts of Buffon), published by Production Edito-Service S.A. of Geneva with the permission of Martin Fabiani, revisited one of Picasso’s most elegant and intellectual collaborations. The original 1942 Paris edition paired Picassos thirty-one etchings with the naturalist writings of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, uniting art and science in a meditation on the beauty of the animal world. This authorized 1970 suite preserved the integrity of the original concept while making it accessible to a broader audience, rendered on fine papier bouffant des Papeteries de Casteljoux. Each image reveals Picassos deft, economical line—transforming Buffon’s zoological observations into lyrical visual poetry. The folio stands as a testament to Picasso’s reverence for nature, intellect, and the printed page, bridging Enlightenment knowledge and modern artistic genius. 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, Picassos 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 USD at Christie's, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picassos enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.

Snail in a Bowl (Artist Proof inscribed to Fritz Eichenberg)
Located in New Orleans, LA
Leonard Merchant's mezzotint, "Snail in Cup" is inscribed for fellow artist, Fritz Eichenberg. While a student at the Central School for Arts and Crafts in London, a young Leonard Marchant found an engraving rocker in a cupboard and proceeded to turn himself into a master of the painstaking art of mezzotinting. Marchant, who has died in Shrewsbury aged 70, grew up in Simonstown, the Royal Navy's enclave in South Africa. Though his first job was as a parliamentary messenger, he taught himself to paint and, aged 19, was given a one-man show in Cape Town. Fired by this success, he left for England to study painting and, he claimed, to escape the stifling home atmosphere created by his Catholic mother and aunts. (His father was killed in the second world war.) Without contacts in London, he phoned Jacob Epstein, whose recommendation resulted in a grant to study briefly at the Central School. It was later, when studying full-time at the Central, that he saw the mezzotints of the Japanese master, Yozo Hamaguchi, in a London gallery. He was hooked. Creating a mezzotint is tedious in the extreme. The copper plate must first be prepared with a "rocker" which roughens the surface. A plate may be "rocked" 30 or 40 times. The rough texture is then reduced with a burnisher and a scraper, allowing the print a range of tones from velvety black through the greys to white. Marchant's plates could be months in the making. But the technical demands were the least of his worries. In its 18th- and 19th-century heyday, mezzotint was solely a reproductive medium, for copying masters such as Reynolds and Turner. The development of photography rendered it unfashionable, and by the 1960s the technique, known as la manière anglaise, was a bygone medium. Marchant, by now a teacher in printmaking at the Central, began to create original mezzotints with a colleague, Radavan Kraguly. A perfectionist, he seemed to revel in the straitjacket procedure. Perhaps it was the metaphor of bringing darkness out of light that appealed to this straight-talking, sometimes sombre, man, who would suddenly relax and light up like a gleaming hue on one of his prints. His work was of squares and triangles with the occasional cat, black and ominous, and carefully arranged still lifes, featuring plants, a seed pod, a pot he might have bought at auction to celebrate the sale of a print. There were one-man shows, notably at the Bankside Gallery. He sold well at the Royal Academy summer exhibition, was a Florence Biennale prizewinner, spent a fellowship year at the British School in Rome, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. But making mezzotints was not a paying job. Marchant and his South African wife...
