Picasso was one of the great portrait-makers of the modernist movement. Sometimes very detailed in their portrayals, sometimes generic types, they represent his images of himself and of his rivals (anyone else, some times). He was often intrigued by the subject of children, especially his own and portrayed his children frequently. Picasso was also interested in other manly pursuits, especially the sexual pursuit of women and the war between men and wild beasts (or not so wild, in the case of Ferdinand the Bull, beloved by all parents and children).

Le Cocu Magnifique: planche 6 (Bloch 1249, Baer 1437). Original Etching and aquatint, 1966. 200 unsigned impressions for the portfolio Le Cocu Magnifique published by Fernand Crommelynck, Editions de l'Atelier Crommelynck (Paris, 1966). The work contained 12 original etchings with aquatint. The first 30 portfolios were accompanied by a suite of all of the prints with large margins. The print seems to be the nightmare of an old rake. On the left two women watch as a grinning wizard in a pointed hat and black robe approaches a large pair of testicles with a gigantic hypodermic needle. Immediately below the testicles, three diminutive figures (one seated cross-legged seems to be the chief of a tribe of primitive people wearing a crown of horns and a necklace) watch with interest. To the right, an old man, looking somewhat like the old Picasso, also watches. Overhead, a winged boy, clearly Cupid, the god of love, is about to shoot an arrow from his bow at one of the women on the left. Below roses are scattered (perhaps to remind us that we should gather our rosebuds when we can) which gradually turn into decorations in the hair of the the two women. From the top left, an old man with a beard but without a body watches the scene with what seems to be an expression of sadness. Dated 15.12.66 (15 December 1966) in the plate top left. Ours is a superb impression from the regular edition. Image size: 225x325mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.

Series 156: 135. Circus Scene (Bloch 1990, Baer 2000). Original etching, 1971. 50 numbered impressions signed with the estate signature stamp plus 18 for the artist and the printer. Executed 3/28/71 and approved by Picasso before his death, this etching, like the others in this series, was printed posthumously. Ours is an artist's proof, inscribed "E. A. IX/XV." A beautiful young woman next to a horse clothes herself while a clown watches her dress. Behind and between them, an eqestrienne performs. One of the largest etchings in the 156 Series, most of which show aging artists (including Rembrandt, Degas, and Picasso himself) looking at their beautiful young models. Image size: 320x420mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.
