Pablo Picasso — Mere, Danseur et Musicien (Mother, Dancer and Musician)
Pablo Picasso

Mere, Danseur et Musicien (Mother, Dancer and Musician)

A striking example of Picasso's late graphic work, this linocut presents three symbolic figures — a mother, a dancer, and a musician — rendered in his characteristically bold and fragmented Cubist style. The composition demonstrates Picasso's masterful manipulation of line and form, reducing human figures to their most expressive essentials while maintaining a dynamic sense of movement and rhythm. Published by Galerie Louise Leiris in 1960, this rare impression, numbered 5/50 and signed by the artist in pencil, represents a distinguished example from one of the most limited and sought-after editions of Picasso's printmaking career.

Medium
Signed and numbered 5/50 in pencil (there were also approximately 20 artist's proofs), published by galerie Louise Leiris, 1960, framed.
