Pablo PICASSO
Deux Femmes from Galerie Louise Leiris
Linocut
27 x 32,5 cm (10.6 x 12.8 inches)
"Deux Femmes" belongs to the series of linocuts created by Pablo Picasso from 1958 to 1961. In this work we can see one of his most favourite subject for linocuts: the bacchanals. The palette,
for
many of the linocuts, is limited to a range of black - white tones. These lines characterize all the linocuts productions. Notably, the face of one of the women is a clear reference to the
african
masks (cyclical artistic element in Picasso's works)
This linocut belongs to the re-edition from 1962.
