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

At the Vallauris workshop of printer Hidalgo Arnéra in 1960, a linocut by Pablo Picasso is set within the bed of a printing press. The carved plate, depicting a reclining nude female figure and a standing flute player, is held by metal clamps beneath a large roller. The heavy machinery of the press, mostly cast in shadow, creates a strong contrast that highlights the detailed artwork of the printing block.
