Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Spanish expatriate painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer, one of the greatest and most-influential artists of the 20th century and the creator (with Georges Braque) of Cubism.
The enormous body of Picasso’s work remains, and the legend lives onas a tribute to the vitality of the “disquieting” Spaniard with the “sombre…piercing” eyes who superstitiously believed that work would keep him alive. For nearly 80 of his 91 years, Picasso devoted himself to an artistic production that contributed significantly to and paralleled the whole development of modern art in the 20th century.Provenance: Private collection purchase.If you would like to receive more information about certification that this piece or any other might have you are more than welcome to contact us directly or trough Live Auctioneers.
