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

In his Vallauris workshop in 1960, printer Hidalgo Arnéra leans intently over his press to prepare a linocut by Pablo Picasso. Captured in profile, his form is framed by the dark, heavy machinery and a large toothed gear. Strong backlighting highlights the intricate plate and the printer's focused craftsmanship.
