About the Item
This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Le divan (The Divan), from the folio Les Bleus de Barcelone, 12 aquarelles et pastels (The Blues of Barcelona, 12 Watercolors and Pastels), originates from the 1963 edition published by Au Vent D'Arles, Paris, and Musee Picasso, Barcelona, and printed by Ateliers Daniel Jacomet, Paris, December 10, 1963. Le divan captures Picassos poetic sensitivity to human emotion and intimacy, evoking the tranquil melancholy and introspective warmth of his Blue Period while showcasing the refined lyricism and compositional mastery of his mature style. Through its fusion of watercolor transparency, pastel delicacy, and the precise craftsmanship of lithography and pochoir, the work conveys both tenderness and formal harmony.
Executed as a lithograph and pochoir with gouache and pastel inks on velin de Rives paper, archivally hinged on velin de Rives backing sheet, as issued, this work measures 21.34 x 16.5 inches (overall). Signed in the plate, as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of Ateliers Daniel Jacomet, Paris.

About the Publication:
Les Bleus de Barcelone, 12 aquarelles et pastels (The Blues of Barcelona, 12 Watercolors and Pastels), published in 1963 by Au Vent D'Arles, Paris, and Musee Picasso, Barcelona, is among the most refined and poetic graphic suites of Picassos later career. Conceived as a visual homage to the artists youth in Barcelona, the folio revisits the palette and sentiment of his early Blue Period while reinterpreting them through the mature, confident lyricism of his later years. Printed by Ateliers Daniel Jacomet—renowned for their mastery of fine art reproduction and pochoir printing—the suite combines lithography, pochoir, and gouache effects to achieve a painterly vibrancy that captures the atmosphere and emotional resonance of Picassos original works on paper. The project was completed on December 10, 1963, with typography by l'Imprimerie Union, Paris, and includes twelve plates that blend watercolor delicacy with chromatic richness. Limited to D examples plus XL hors commerce copies, Les Bleus de Barcelone stands as a testament to Picassos ongoing dialogue between memory and invention, uniting the spirit of his early Spanish years with the expressive freedom of his mature artistic vision.
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.
