Plante aux Torritos / Plant with bullflies. Published in Femmes et Faunes, a collction of 13 pochoirs done under Picaso's supervision for a collection of 13 works after his original drawings by Antonina Vallentin. Edition size: 200 impressions on heavy wove paper with a deckled edge. In the catalogue raisonné of Picasso's Prints, there is a color linogravure titled "Plante aux Toritos" dated 25 Juin 1956-9 Avril 1960 (Bloch 948) on the same subject as our lithograph, which is dated 24-6-1956 VII, indicating that it is the 7th work Picasso did on June 24 1956. I think Picasso did a number of drawings for the linogravure, one of which he chose as the model for the print and which he liked enough that he gave it to be copied by someone in his studio and then be printed by Mourlot, his regular printer (hence the watermark: "Ceci est une reproduction. Picasso." This also tells us that Picasso had special paper made so that he could print reproductions of drawings he liked without having to worry that someone might add a fake signature and try pass it off as an original Picasso lithograph. It also reminds us that Picasso could sometimes be charming and whimsical! Rare! Image size: 498x400mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.
