Picasso Linoleum Cuts

The linoleum cuts of Pablo Picasso reveal the graphic genius of this undisputed giant among 20th-century Artists. Between 1939 and 1968, Picasso explored such themes as bullfights, bacchanalia, still lifes, female heads and figure studies in a medium that he helped to revolutionalize.

His invention of the one-block technique of  linocut printing enabled him to achieve brilliantly coloured and richly textured works on paper.

This splendid book reproduces in six colours 147 of Picasso’s linoleum cuts as well as 10 of his ceramic plaques.
