Description
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Dancer, Original Signed, Numbered and Documented Linocut! ARTIST: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)TITLE: Dancer (Le Danseur)MEDIUM: Linocut IMAGE SIZE: 24 ¾" x 20 ¾" (63 x 52.5 cm)SHEET SIZE: 28" x 23 ¾" (71 x 60 cm)FRAMED SIZE: 44 ½" x 40" (113 x 101.6 cm)SIGNATURE: This work has a guaranteed authentic signature by Picasso in pencil in the lower right.EDITION: Numbered from the edition of 200 in pencil in the lower left.CONDITION: This work is in great condition, a fine dark even impression with full margins!GALLERY RETAIL VALUE: $55,000 DISCUSSION:Boldly composed with rich dark tones and opaque shapes, this piece evokes a sense of ambiguity and mystery. Utilizing simple shapes and lines to create complex imagery, Picasso's abstract technique takes on a multitude of layers in this work. Created in 1965, this linocut is printed and published on Arches paper by Arnéra, Vallauris. Signed by Picasso in pencil in the lower right margin, this work is numbered from the edition of 200 in the lower left. Depicting the portrait of a dancer, one can only presume who the artist is illustrating by the title, 'Le Danseur'. Rather than creating the facial features with an outlined form, Picasso creates the form from within. Shapes overlap and intersect to create various textures, highlights, and shadows of the face. Using a dark brown as the highlight to an otherwise black scene, the viewer is drawn in to the image through the use of dark tones. PROVENANCE: Private Collection, Sweden DOCUMENTATION / COA: It is fully documented and referenced in (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that I will enclose with the sale of the work):1) Rodrigo, Luis Carlos, Picasso in His Posters, Vol I, 1992, listed as cat no 145 on pgs 318 and 319.2) Bloch, Georges, Pablo Picasso, Catalogue de l'oeuvre grave et lithographie 1966-1969, Tome II, 1977, listed as cat no 1849 on pg 342.3) Lieberman, William S. and McVinney, L.
