This exquisite lithograph after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Au Baiser d'Avignon V (At the Kiss of Avignon V), 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 V reflects the warmth, sensuality, and spontaneity of Picasso's late works, uniting the vitality of his line with a serene sense of intimacy.

Executed as a lithograph on velin d'Arches paper, this work measures 19.79 x 15.75 inches. Signed in the plate, as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of Mourlot Freres, Paris.

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.
