Description
Beginning in 1961, Picasso embarked on a deep and sustained exploration of Manet’s composition, producing a remarkable series that includes 27 paintings, over 140 drawings, and several linocuts. In these works, Picasso reimagines the original scene through his own expressive and often fragmented visual language—transforming a canonical image into a site of experimentation and reinterpretation.
The present composition reflects that process, distilling the subject into a bold, graphic format. The linework is energetic and deliberate, capturing both the structure of the scene and Picasso’s characteristic spontaneity. The intimate scale of the image, presented within a wide mat and elegant frame, enhances its presence while preserving its graphic intensity.
Published for the Pace Gallery exhibition in 1972, this piece represents a moment when Picasso’s late work was being actively introduced and contextualized for American audiences, further cementing his influence across generations.
A significant and highly collectible work, appealing to collectors of Picasso, modern art history, and exhibition material tied to major gallery presentations.
