Original Limited Edition Collotype on Arches paper. Paper Size: 10.25 x 16.5 inches. Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Edition: 1500, plus proofs. Excellent condition; unframed. Notes: Printed by Imprimerie Duval, published by Éditions Cercle d'Art, Paris, France. According to the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, “Around 1959, Editions Cercle d’Art published Carnet de la Californie, a facsimile of a sketchbook that Picasso worked on at his house in Cannes, La Californie. Carnet de la Californie was printed at Mourlot Studios, a famed lithographic print shop that specialized in artist collaborations—Picasso himself made more than four hundred lithographs at Mourlot between 1945 and 1969. Their reproduction of the sketchbook showcases the printmakers’ prowess: These lithographers, skilled at a printing process that had fallen out of favor during the 19th century due to the difficulty of using a stone plate to offset the image, were able to reproduce the brush strokes and pressure of the colored pencils with an accuracy that makes the book feel like an original. They even managed to capture the impressions from the pastels and paint that transferred from one page to the other when the notebook was closed. The sketchbook was originally created for an audience of one: Picasso himself. The beautifully reproduced notebook is an unusual chance, for the rest of us, to observe the artist’s daily practice—a studio tour of his mind.”
PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes.
