Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection

2024 08 30 Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection

An exhibition of prints by Pablo Picasso, including seventeen progressive proofs and two published linocuts, which explores his artistic process and one of printmaking’s most fascinating and demanding mediums, the linoleum cut print. 

Organized by Townsend Art Advisory LLC, Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection examines theprintmaking output of legendary Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) in the last years of his life. The exhibition highlights three prints and their various proofs—Portrait of a Young Woman after Cranach the Younger II, Pique II, and Bacchanal with Kid Goat and Onlooker—that illustrate Picasso’s unique printmaking process as well as his innovative contributions to the practice itself. The artist’s prints also demonstrate his enduring interest in themes that dominated his long and prolific career: his Spanish heritage, mythology and the Classical past, and the work of European Old Masters.
