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

In his Vallauris workshop in 1960, printer Hidalgo Arnéra oversees the printing of a Pablo Picasso linocut. Arnéra’s face is intensely illuminated by a single bare lightbulb as he crouches in profile to observe the large press. To the left, a second, silhouetted figure guides a sheet of paper onto the rollers. The dramatic lighting casts deep shadows, emphasizing the atmosphere of focused manual labor as the vintage machinery prepares to make an impression.
