Hidalgo Arnéra's printing press with a Pablo Picasso linocut. Vallauris 1960.

An intricately carved linocut by Pablo Picasso, featuring a complex, mask-like design of stylized eyes and swirling patterns, is set within the bed of Hidalgo Arnéra's printing press. A large roller is positioned above, its metallic surface reflecting the single overhead bulb that casts the scene in high contrast. The direct light highlights the plate’s raised surfaces against deep shadows, capturing the industrial atmosphere of the Vallauris workshop in 1960.
