Jan Sluijters (jr.) - Carnival - Sold

Carnival (1958) lithograph, Henri Deschamps, Mourlot, Paris. Signature in the plate. For Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), printmaking was an art form in which he could experiment to his heart's content. Picasso made more than 2,500 prints in a wide variety of techniques. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has almost four hundred prints in its collection, of which more than seventy works can now be seen in the Kunsthal. Highlights in the exhibition 'Picasso on paper' are the color linocuts of still lifes, bullfights, mythological scenes and especially women. Picasso taught himself the technique of color linocuts in 1958, when he was already in his seventies
