Pablo PICASSO
Après la Pique from Galerie Louise Leiris
Linocut
27 x 32,5 cm (10.6 x 12.8 inches)
"Après la Pique" 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. Here we can see a bullfight scene where the bull is runnind away from
the
bullfighter . Lines thicken. Shapes become rounder, and recall Picasso's Guernica.
This linocut belongs to the re-edition from 1962.
