Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print:
Pablin, nephew of Picasso, strums guitar next to a portrait of his uncle painted by Picasso’s great friend, Sebastià Junyer. Barcelona, Spain. 1954.
“Inge’s interests in exploring different regions, and their cultures, often led her into homes of local artists and writers. On one such occasion, she found herself on an assignment in Barcelona for the French magazine L’Oeil. Picasso’s sister, Lola Ruiz Vilato, amused by Inge’s shaky Spanish (over the phone), agreed to be photographed and invited her home. Inge was greeted by music, drinking, and conversation among Lola’s many children.
In this photo of Pablín, Inge creates not only a literal, but also an emotional invitation for the viewer to ‘get closer,’ so we can observe the subject’s surroundings. Pablín sits next to a portrait of his uncle, Pablo Picasso, with a deliberate visual narrative that showcases familial closeness.”
