Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973). Print
Measure 10"in H x 13 1/2"in W and 17 1/2"in H x 21 1/2"in W with frame
Biography: While originally from Malaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso nurtured his artistic talents in Barcelona as a youth before moving to France in 1906, where he tapped into the nerve of the Parisian art community alongside Braque and Matisse and joined later by Miro and Chagall. Within the context of this creative environment and with war and social uprising always on his doorstep, Picasso cut new paths, experimented with virtually every medium available to him, and ultimatly created work that was nothing less than revolutionary and captivating. Throughout his long artistic a career, the bulk of his energy was devoted to depicting the human form in thought-provoking and often unorthodox ways. Nowhere, in his massive body of art more apparent than among his graphic works. Pablo Picasso, a great draftsman and a master of the line , expressed "the graphic arts are...my favorite medium of expression." The process of printmaking requires a balance of mastery and inventiveness and Picasso possessed both. He was imaginative with the use of traditional methods and was able to coax out new and inventive techniques to further is artistic intent in printmaking. Phillippe de Montebello, former Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, explained, "Picasso, the foremost painter and sculptor of our century, is also its greatest printmaker. The more he is studied the more one percieves how intimately related are the life and the images he created, Nowhere in his oeuvre is this better demonstrated than in his prints."
