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," featuring inserts by Pablo Picasso. Made in Vallauris in 1960, the mold's grainy surface is a collage of reversed text and images. Picasso’s additions evoke primitive art, with drawings of a stick figure, an animal, a figure on horseback, and a stylized mask. The composition, marked by a central vertical flaw, combines ancient motifs with the format of modern mass media.
