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

In his Vallauris workshop in 1960, printer Hidalgo Arnéra is seen in profile, leaning intently over his press. His right hand, a blur of motion, wipes a large linocut by Pablo Picasso. The high-contrast lighting illuminates the focused craftsman and the intricately designed plate, while the complex mechanics of the machine, including a large spoked wheel in the background, are cast in shadow.
