EDITION: Lettered E.A. (for 'Epreuve d'Artiste') in pencil in the lower left margin. Artists proof aside from the numbered edition of 200. CONDITION: This work is in great condition, the colors are rich and saturated. DISCUSSION: Created in 1964, this color lithograph is printed on BFK Rives wove paper and based on an original work done in colored pencil from the same year. Featured on the cover for the French newspaper, Le Patriote for their January 1964 issue. Hand signed in the lower right margin by Pablo Picasso in green crayon, this work is lettered E.A. in pencil in the lower left margin. The large scale of this piece, coupled with vivid color and rich details, combines to create a spectacular work! The painterly quality of this piece is most clearly evident in the gentle detailing around the face of the clown. Brilliantly colored with vibrantly saturated hues, this work captures the essence of the artist's use of divided light and pure color. Executed in a portrait-style manner, this piece is light and refreshing, jovial and contemplative-it delights our senses and enchants our imaginations. This work is in wonderful condition with rich and saturated colors. Full of luminous and vivid colors, Carnival Clown depicts a clown in a mythic and nymph-like environment. Filled with ethereal details and organic elements, this piece embodies a Renaissance feel with a distinctively modern sensibility.
