About the Item

This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Mere et enfant au fichu (Mother and Child with Headscarf), 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 Musée Picasso, Barcelona, and printed by Ateliers Daniel Jacomet, Paris, December 10, 1963. Mere et enfant au fichu reflects Picasso’s timeless exploration of maternal tenderness, portraying the intimate bond between mother and child with grace and emotional depth. The soft blue tones and delicate application of pochoir and gouache evoke both the melancholy and serenity of his Blue Period, while the compositional simplicity underscores his lifelong ability to express profound emotion through minimal gesture and form. This work exemplifies Picasso’s enduring sensitivity to the universal themes of love, care, and humanity. 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.

Patrick Cramer, 1983, illustration 122 Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Les Bleus de Barcelone, 12 aquarelles et pastels (The Blues of Barcelona, 12 Watercolors and Pastels), published by Au Vent D'Arles, Paris, and Musée Picasso, Barcelona; printed by Ateliers Daniel Jacomet, Paris, December 10, 1963 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), The Barcelona Blues, was made for the boards, by Daniel Jacomet on velin BFK Rives. The preface, composed by hand, in Garamont Corps 24, was completed on December 10, 1963 on the presses of l'Imprimerie Union in Paris. D examples were drawn, numbered from I to D, and XL non-commerce examples marked from H.C. I to H.C. XL. Examples I to LXXV are accompanied by an original etching, printed on the presses of the ateliers Crommelynck, numbered and signed by the artist. 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 Musée Picasso, Barcelona, is among the most refined and poetic graphic suites of Picasso’s later career. Conceived as a visual homage to the artist’s 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 Picasso’s 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 Picasso’s 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, Picasso’s 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 Picasso’s enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.
