Femme Assise, Cubist Lithograph by Pablo Picasso
1982

About the Item

Reduced to angular shapes, the female model in this Pablo Picasso print is portrayed in the Cubist style founded and propagated by the artist himself. Relying on invented perspective, the artist refutes realistic perspective and instead combines many unrealistic views of his subjects in their portrayals. A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after the Pablo Picasso artwork "Femme Assise". The original piece was completed in 1919. In the 1970's after Picasso's death, Marina Picasso, his granddaughter, authorized the creation of this lithograph by Laurent Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. The limited edition print run was completed and published by Marina Picasso in conjunction with Jackie Fine Arts in 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed and numbered (AP 7) by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer's chop, lower left. The work is presented in an excellent gold wood frame using all acid-free conservation materials.
