Picasso – Linograves – this stylised and colourful linocut is from a edition published by Edtions Cercle D’Art, Paris printed on Arches wove paper. This beautiful linocut (After) Picasso was created in 1962.
Between 1958 and 1961, Picasso made many linocuts that were first issued in signed editions of 50 by Galerie Louise Leiris. In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and Galerie Louise Leiris, new linoleum plates were made at 42% of the original size, and it was from these that these Linocuts were produced.
In 1958, Picasso moved to the South of France with his lover Jacqueline Roque, and as a result, the artist’s long-distance relationship with his printmaking studio in Paris proved to be inconvenient. So, the 77-year-old artist found a local printer and began experimenting with a new technique: linocuts, a relief printing method that involves carving directly into a sheet of linoleum. Drawn to the speed of the medium, Picasso created over 100 linocuts over the next five years.
