Henri Matisse
French · b. 1869

Matisse created strikingly similar black and white lithographs of tropical and botanical subjects using fluid gestural line work, particularly in his series of plant and leaf drawings from the 1940s that share the same biomorphic intimacy and minimal ink economy as this Picasso piece.

Jean Arp
French · b. 1886

Arp's biomorphic abstract compositions on paper share the same organic flowing forms and surrealist vocabulary seen in this botanical lithograph, with simplified plant like shapes rendered through clean contour lines that hover between representation and pure abstraction.

Fernand Léger
French · b. 1881

Léger produced modernist works on paper depicting plant and leaf forms using bold black outlines and flat gestural marks that closely parallel this lithograph's approach to rendering tropical foliage through a cubist and modernist visual language in postwar works on paper.
