Pablo Picasso - Original lithograph

1952

This rare original work by Pablo Picasso belongs to the iconic series of exhibition works created during his time in Vallauris, South of France, where the artist lived and worked extensively.

The work is hand-signed in blue crayon lower left. (Also signed in the plate under the image left)

It is an original lithograph, part of the series of linocuts and lithographs that Pablo Picasso designed from 1948 onwards to promote exhibitions in Vallauris, a place that played a central role in his artistic development.

This specific edition announces an exhibition at the Maison de la Pensée Française in Paris, adding significant historical and cultural context.

The composition is dominated by a powerful, stylized goat, a recurring motif in Picasso’s work, executed in a minimalist line style with strong contrasts between black and the warm terra-colored background, characteristic of his work from this period.

Printed by the renowned Mourlot Paris, one of the most important ateliers for original Picasso lithographs, this piece guarantees exceptional print quality and a direct link to the artist. Mourlot collaborated closely with Picasso and played a crucial role in the development of his graphic work.
