Original lithograph by Pablo Picasso in 1956, specially made for the book the ‘Picasso Lithographe’ by Fernand Mourlot and published by Andre Sauret. Printed by Mourlot.

This original lithograph by Picasso was printed in 1956. The artist created this work as the cover of the reference catalog of his lithographs that Fernand Mourlot compiled. This made all the catalogs extremely exclusive and valuable. Each of the 4 designs are very particular and reflect the subjects that Picasso was addressing over the decades spent at the Mourlot studio.

This particular variant is printed on an ocher background and It is both playful and lyrical, with a Centaur, a faun and probably Picasso as Bacchus on the right.

Pablo Picasso is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and is known for co-founding the Cubist movement. His works often dealt with themes such as love, death, war, and sexuality, and his art was heavily influenced by his personal life and relationships. He had many romantic relationships and marriages throughout his life, and his relationships with women were often the subject of his work.

The piece is framed with an antique frame and light passepartout.
