PABLO PICASSO

(Málaga, Spain, 1881 - Moulins, France, 1973)

From the folder Portraits Imaginaires, 1969

Signed and dated on plate 30.3.69 II

Lithograph without edition number

Published in: MALLEN, Enrique et al. Picasso Project.Texas. Sam Houston State University, 1997-2019, cataloged 69: 382.

Printed by Marcel Salinas in collaboration with Pablo Picasso. This lithograph belongs to the folder Portraits Imaginaires which originally contained 29 lithographs.

At the beginning of that year, a delivery of materials is brought to his studio, wrapped in thick paper and packed in corrugated cardboard. Instead of throwing away the containers, he immediately began using them as canvases, smearing paint directly onto paper and cardboard, creating these portraits of moustached musketeers, abstract female faces and historical figures.

Picasso, extremely pleased with the results of the drawings, sought out the engraver Marcel Salinas to reproduce a series. In a way, these portraits are the perfect Picasso print: they show the evolution of the artist"s career from a young portraitist and founder of Cubism to the highly innovative paintings of his later years.
