Book First Edition
No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Publisher: Editions Cercle D'Art, Paris, France. Date: 1962. First edition. Printed in Germany. Linocut size: H: 26.8cm W: 22.3cm. Sheet size: H: 27.2cm W: 31.9cm. Original linocut after and approved by Picasso for 'Picasso Linogravures', 1962. These linocuts were first issued in signed editions of fifty by Galerie Louise Leiris and printed by Arnéra. Because of the 'reduction' method invented and used by Picasso, which uses just one plate of linoleum instead of a separate one for each colour, it was impossible to make any more prints from the original plates. Therefore, in collaboration with Picasso and Galerie Louise Leiris, new linoleum plates were made at 42% of the original size, and it was from these that the above prints were made. Ref: Bloch 909. (Later editions of this work, the editions of 1988 and 2020, were digitally copied without any impression marks, used lesser quality inks, on inferior paper and greatly reduced in quality.) This is a genuine linocut, dating from 1962 on heavy stock paper. Condition: Strong impression mark. Very faint foxing to the margins else a fine, tight, bright, clean copy. Scarce.
