About Picasso linocuts:
After
creating his first linocut in 1939, Picasso did not pick up the
technique again until 1951. At this time he was spending much of his
time in Vallauris (the south of France). Occasionally, he would donate
some of his time and skills to create a poster for an event in the town,
such as a bullfight or a ceramics fair. A local printer, Arnéra,
suggested that Picasso try linoleum as a cheap printmaking technique.
After this, and for the next 10 years, Picasso immersed himself in
linocuts. Picasso developed a new method for creating prints which
dispensed with the need to cut a separate block for each colour, instead
progressively cutting and printing from a single block. The technique
saved huge amounts of time, but also presented tremendous challenges. It
required the artist to be able to visualise the completed image at an
early stage, and made it impossible to reverse any mistakes made during
the cutting process. Picasso created his linocuts using progressive
proofs that made up the final print: he progressively cut and printed
from a single block to gradually build an image of increasing complexity
(e.g. linocut "Still Life under the Lamp, a still life of apples on a
table next to a brightly lit goblet"); creating another work "Jacqueline
Reading, a portrait of Picasso’s second wife Jacqueline Roque" the
artist used different technique from the still life, as he used two
blocks to create the finished piece – one defining the sitter’s head and
bust tonally, the other cut to leave just her outline – with the two
prints superimposed to create the final work. Picasso linocuts still
remain relatively rare in his oeuvre, encompassing only about 150 out of
more than 2,000 prints, and are highly valued by collectors.
