A stereotype mold ("flong") of a newspaper page ("Le Patriote") with inserts by Pablo Picasso, probably made with an intermediate plaster stage. Vallauris 1960.

A stereotype mold, or "flong," of a page from the newspaper "Le Patriote," created in Vallauris in 1960. This top-down view shows the reversed, three-dimensional layout of the papier-mâché mold. Interspersed with the mirrored columns of text are several line-drawn illustrations by Pablo Picasso, including a stylized bull's head and a picador on horseback. The lighting emphasizes the relief of the drawings and letters on the grainy, tactile surface, which is marked by a prominent vertical tear.
