The print is in good vintage and measures 20.5" x 26" and is presented in a black wood frame with museum quality plexiglass. This mid-century version of the 1918 classic is white ink on brown paper; it is signed in the print. Cool piece! #3627 ABOUT THE ARTIST Born in 1881, Pablo Ruiz y Picasso followed in his father’s footsteps as an academically trained painter and studied art at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in his native Spain. Picasso traveled for the first time to Paris at age 19, establishing a studio there in 1904. He soon began a relationship with Fernande Olivier, who modeled for many of his works throughout this early period. Picasso also shared a studio with Georges Braque, with whom he co-founded Cubism. During World War I, Picasso designed sets and costumes for the Ballets Russes where he met his first wife, the Russian ballet dancer Olga Khokhlova. They married in 1918, and she gave birth to their son Paulo in 1921. Picasso’s family life inspired much of his art in the early 1920s. In 1927, Picasso met seventeen-year-old Marie-Thérèse Walter, who would become a prominent figure in his art. After Picasso separated from his wife in 1934, Walter gave birth to Maya, the artist’s second child, in 1935. Two years later, Picasso painted his most famous work during the tumultuous years of the Second World War, the eleven by twenty-five foot mural Guernica(1937). During the 1930s Picasso had a relationship with two artists, Dora Maar and later Françoise Gilot. Gilot and their two children, Claude and Paloma, inspired Picasso’s art of the 1940s and 1950s. After the death of his first wife in 1955 and his separation from Gilot, Picasso married his second wife, Jacqueline Roque. Picasso spent the remainder of his life in the south of France with Roque, his last artistic muse, and produced art until his death in 1973 at the age of 91. It is no exaggeration to say Picasso was one of the most prolific artists of the twentieth century. Estimations place his artistic output in the tens of thousands. When the artist mastered one medium, he moved to another and blurred the lines between traditionally separate crafts. Every phase of his creative production varied from the last, both in form and representation. A biographical thread weaves Picasso’s artworks together with each piece bridging the commonalities between the desires and compulsions with which he grappled throughout his long life.

Highly collectible and rare linocut poster "Vallavris Exhibition 1954" by Pablo Picasso, circa 1954.. The print is in good vintage and measures 24" x 30". It is presented in a simple black wood frame and is signed in the print. Super cool and hard to find Picasso poster! #2912 Starting in the 1950s, Picasso worked with the linocut printer Hidalgo Arnéra to produce posters for ceramic exhibitions and bullfights. The printer described their working method as such: “Picasso worked at night; in the morning, Marcel the chauffeur brought what he had completed to the print shop with notes added by Jacqueline Roque. I pulled the proofs and returned them to [his home] La Californie at exactly 1:30. This regular rhythm of working continued for eight years, every day, except Saturday and Sunday.” This idiosyncratic procedure speaks to the collaborative effort of these printmaking ventures, which included his partner, his printer, and his chauffeur Title: Vallauris Exhibition 1954 Artist: Pablo Picasso Printer: Printed by Hidalgo Arnéra Publisher: Published by Hidalgo Arnéra Date: 1954 Medium: Linoleum cut ABOUT THE ARTIST Born in 1881, Pablo Ruiz y Picasso followed in his father’s footsteps as an academically trained painter and studied art at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in his native Spain.
