plate number 26 from the collection of Linocut published by Cercle d'Art editions in 1962

Great Condition: negligible signs of ages, never framed - please see pictures!
Note on condition: our artwork is complete, neither cropped nor trimmed. We insist on that because some people used to crop linocuts from these series in order to cut the small numbers lower left, for aesthetic reason: this way, the artwork loses its integrity and even most of its economic value. We are selling a complete artwork, not crippled, and we show it all - one of the pictures includes the edges. Tip: if one does not like the small number, it is easy to hide it under a passepartout when matted - just don't trim the artwork!

This is a real linocut from the original edition dated 1962 (NOT from the lithograph/digital reprints published in 1988 and 2020)

On This Artwork

The figures represent the maximum point of essentiality. In the Bacchanalia, it is clear that Picasso wanted to return to few colours images, to experiment with maximum concentration the graphic possibilities of the new linoleum technique. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
