Printer Hidalgo Arnéra at his printing press with a Pablo Picasso linocut. Vallauris 1960.

In his Vallauris workshop in 1960, printer Hidalgo Arnéra leans intently over a large printing press. His right hand, slightly blurred to suggest motion, wipes the surface of a linocut plate by Pablo Picasso, which is carved with a stylized design of flowers and leaves. The tightly framed scene focuses on the craftsman’s concentrated effort, with the large roller and a spoked gear wheel of the press visible in the background.
