About the Item

One of only a handful of etchings done in the style of the painting Guernica. from 1937, one the artist's most famous works. Homme Nu Debout avec un Cheval Drypoint, 1938 Unsigned (as issued) There are some of the edition of 56 that had a signature stamp afixed to stop forged signatures. Picasso only hand signed one impression of this image. Many art historians read the writhing, gored horse at the center of the canvas as embodying the pain, panic, and vulnerability of the civilian population—“the people of Guernica” or, more broadly, the Spanish people crushed between Fascist forces and modern mechanized warfare. Its disemboweled body, screaming mouth, and position over the fallen soldier reinforce this role as an image of innocent suffering and martyrdom in the chaos of the bombing. Edition: 56, on Montval laid paper with the Picasso watermark Unsigned, there is only one signed impressions in Picasso's lifetime. Impressions of this image sometime have a Picasso signature stamp. Printed by Lacourière, Paris Provenance Estate of the artist, Picasso Estate No. 20778 Marina Picasso (the artist’s granddaughter; acquired from the above, with her collector's stamp on the verso, Lugt 3698) Jan Krugier Gallery, New York Thomas French Fine Art Ms. Anita Bolz, Columbus Condition: Mint Frame: 22K Gold leaf with TruVue Conservation Glass (ready to hand and enjoy) Image size: 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches Sheet size: 15 x 19 3/4 inches Frame size: 24 1/2 x 30 1/2 inches Reference: Bloch 304 Geiser 632 b/c This etching of 1938 was done as a postscript after Picasso's masterpiece oil painting Guernica, 1937.

Picador debout avec son cheval et une femme (Picador, Woman, and Horse), 1959
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Palo Alto, CA
Considered to be one of Picasso’s monumental linoleum prints, Pablo Picasso Picador debout avec son cheval et une femme (Picador, Woman, and Horse), 1959 is a large-scale artwork that captures the essence of this artist’s innovation and minimalist creativity. His simple lines curve and undulated together to form the characters of the piece: the woman – feminine and robust, the horse – whimsical and characteristic, and the picador – strong and masculine. All three subjects create a triad composition making way for a harmonious and balanced piece. The entire work exudes an air of femininity and mystery, all set against a backdrop of a misty grey helping to create Picasso’s sensual environment of intrigue. Created in 1959, Pablo Picasso Picador debout avec son cheval et une femme (Picador, Woman, and Horse) is a color linocut on Arches paper hand-signed by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 – Mougins, 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin. Numbered 21/50 in pencil in the lower left margin, this work was printed by Arnéra, Vallauris and published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris.
