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

At Hidalgo Arnéra's printing press in Vallauris, a linocut by Pablo Picasso is locked into place, 1960. The close-up composition, angled down into the machinery, is illuminated by a single overhead light. Its reflection on the large metal roller above casts dramatic highlights and deep shadows, emphasizing the metallic textures of the press and the intricately carved, abstract details of the block.
