In this lot, there are two of Picasso's most recognized images...at least when one considers the numbers of reproductions of these two prints. But I believe that these two lithographs are not just poster-like reproductions but stone pulled lithographs after Picasso. The subjects of these two prints are well known to art collectors and Picasso afficianados alike...one is entitled "The dance of Youth" or sometimes "The dance of Peace" and depicts colorful figures dancing around his famous dove of peace. This print measures 16" x 13" while most reproductions (posters or offset prints) of this image are quite a bit larger. There has even been a repaired tear in the image so that it is not really noticeable. I doubt anyone would have taken the trouble to repair a cheap copy in this way. This print is either a color lithograph or a color silkscreen. It is not pencil signed or numbered but signed "Picasso" in the plate with the plate date of July 25th, 1961. The 2nd print is smaller and measures 12" X 10". It too is a rather familiar image because it has been mass produced. It is a simple line drawing of a woman's derriere. Picasso as a minimalist! This print is entitled "Femme" and shows how the simple rendering (barely even a suggestion) of a few curved lines demonstrates Picasso's mastery when it comes to drawing. This print was framed for a while and all around it shows some mat burn as seen in the photo...Could be covered with a new acid-free mat. There is no date but it too was probably created in the 60's. It is signed in the plate "Picasso". I believe that these two older prints are "diamonds in the rough" and were possibly used in an art periodical or book on Picasso. Both are being sold "as is" because of some minor condition problems in the margins and the mat burn in "Femme". |
