A Pablo Picasso linoblock in the garden of linoprinter Arnéra. Vallauris 1960.

Photographed in the garden of linoprinter Arnéra in Vallauris in 1960, this Pablo Picasso linoblock is a dense and highly stylized relief carving. The composition is dominated by a reclining female figure in an abstract, cubist style, her form defined by intricate, incised lines. Below her are three smaller figures, while a stylized owl perches in the upper right. The entire surface is activated by a rhythmic play of carved lines. In the upper left corner, the date "1.12.59." is carved in reverse, as is typical for a printing plate.

This photo is also available as a vintage print in the following size:
