Pablo Picasso
1881 - 1973
Faune aux branchages. 1948.
Lithograph.
Signed and numbered. From an edition of 50 copies. On firm Arches wove paper (with the watermark). 66 x 53 cm (25.9 x 20.8 in). Sheet: 76,5 x 56 cm (30,1 x 22 in).
[EH].
• A particularly harmonious and therefore highly sought-after copy from the Faun lithograph series created on March 10, 1948, in Vallauris.
• Especially after 1945, Picasso’s graphic work reached its peak in terms of thematic diversity, scope, and technical mastery.
• The faun or satyr, as a mythological creature and a figure with whom the artist identified, is a significant and recurring motif in Picasso’s graphic work.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, Switzerland.
LITERATURE: Fernand Mourlot, Picasso. Lithograph, Paris 1970, CR no. 113 (with ill.).
Georges Bloch, Pablo Picasso. Catalogue de l’œuvre gravé et lithographié 1904–1967, vol. I, Bern 1984, CR no. 520 (with illu.).
Good overall condition. Browning and a light halo in the passe-partout cut-out. Isolated minor fox marks. The paper is smooth. The edges of the sheet are secured on the reverse with mounting tape, which extends onto the front.
