Hidalgo Arnéra at his printing press with a Pablo Picasso linocut. Vallauris 1960.

Printer Hidalgo Arnéra leans intently over his press in Vallauris, 1960, his hand resting on a linocut by Pablo Picasso. The rectangular plate, engraved with a stylized floral design, is sharply highlighted by the dramatic lighting. Surrounded by the intricate machinery of gears and rollers, Arnéra is a figure of deep concentration, the workshop cast in deep shadow.
