Pablo Picasso’s linocut instruments. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.
In Pablo Picasso’s studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, his linocut instruments rest upon a work in progress in 1964. The high-angle photograph focuses on a large print whose bold, light-colored lines depict stylized figures. Lying directly on the artwork are several printmaking tools with wooden handles and a small box. The paper curls upward, revealing a lower shelf with an ink pot and crumpled newspaper, suggesting an active, creative environment characterized by strong shadows and cluttered surfaces.
