Invitation card for the opening of an exhibition at La Galerie Madoura, 5 april 1961. Private collection.
A two-toned linocut by Pablo Picasso serves as the invitation card for an exhibition opening at La Galerie Madoura on April 5, 1961. The print, in black ink on textured blue-grey paper, is divided into three panels depicting a stylized amphora, a faun-like head above the word "Madoura," and a simplified, iconic face. Picasso personally dedicated this invitation to Edward Quinn with the handwritten note "Pour Quinn Picasso le 21.3.61." on the cream border. The print itself is dated "11.3.61." and signed by the artist.
