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

At Hidalgo Arnéra's printing press in Vallauris, 1960, a linocut by Pablo Picasso is ready for printing. The brightly illuminated plate, featuring a bold, linear drawing of stylized flowers, stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding heavy machinery. A large roller is poised above the artwork, with a gear wheel visible in the background, the industrial forms creating a dark frame around the organic nature of the drawing.
