About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Au Baiser d'Avignon III (At the Kiss of Avignon III), from the folio Picasso au baiser d'Avignon, douze dessins, lavis, aquarelles (At the Kiss of Avignon, Twelve Drawings, Ink Washes, Watercolors), originates from the 1971 edition published by Le Vent d'Arles, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, Monday, December 20, 1971. Au Baiser d'Avignon III reflects the warmth, sensuality, and spontaneity of Picasso's late works, uniting the vitality of his line with a serene sense of intimacy. The composition radiates an effortless mastery—at once gestural and lyrical—capturing the tenderness and exuberant spirit that defined Picasso's final creative years in the south of France. Executed as a lithograph on velin d'Arches paper, this work measures 15.75 x 19.79 inches. Signed in the plate, as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of Mourlot Freres, Paris. Artwork Details: Artist: After Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) Title: Au Baiser d'Avignon III (At the Kiss of Avignon III), from the folio Picasso au baiser d'Avignon, douze dessins, lavis, aquarelles (At the Kiss of Avignon, Twelve Drawings, Ink Washes, Watercolors), 1971 Medium: Lithograph on velin d'Arches paper Dimensions: 15.75 x 19.79 inches (40 x 50.25 cm) Inscription: Signed in the plate, as issued Date: 1971 Publisher: Le Vent d'Arles, Paris Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Picasso au baiser d'Avignon, douze dessins, lavis, aquarelles (At the Kiss of Avignon, Twelve Drawings, Ink Washes, Watercolors), published by Le Vent d'Arles, Paris; printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, Monday, December 20, 1971 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), Printing was completed, Monday, December 20, 1971 on the presses of l'Imprimerie Union in Paris for typography. The boards have been shot by Mourlot in Paris. Limited edition of CCC examples, of which L are out of trade. About the Publication: Picasso au baiser d'Avignon, douze dessins, lavis, aquarelles (At the Kiss of Avignon, Twelve Drawings, Ink Washes, Watercolors) was published in 1971 by Le Vent d'Arles, Paris, as a vibrant celebration of Picasso's late mastery and his deep connection to Provence. The portfolio unites twelve compositions that reveal the artist's enduring fascination with the human figure, love, and the expressive freedom of gesture. Each work, rendered with an extraordinary economy of line and luminous tonal balance, embodies the fluid sensuality of Picasso's mature style. Printed by Mourlot Freres—the master lithographic atelier responsible for many of Picasso's most celebrated graphic works—the suite exemplifies the harmony between painter and printer achieved during their long collaboration. The typography for the folio was completed by l'Imprimerie Union in Paris, and the edition was finalized on December 20, 1971. Limited to 300 examples with an additional 50 hors commerce copies, Picasso au baiser d'Avignon stands among the final print projects completed during the artist's lifetime, serving as both an artistic summation and a radiant testament to the vitality of his final decade. 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.
