He himself saw it as proof of the creative potential of figuration compared to conceptual art. The artist shows his mastery not only in his unbroken drawing confidence, but also in his virtuoso mastery of a wide variety of printing techniques. This tremendous productivity was also made possible by the fact that the printer Crommelynck had installed a workshop in Picasso"s house in Mougins. - Universal genius, one of the most important artists in art history, who has made groundbreaking achievements in almost all artistic genres, in the most important collections around the world.
