Faunes et chévre. 1959/62. Linocut on heavy-weight vellum. 27 x 32.5 cm. (32 x 37 cm). - A few tiny brown spots at the edge of the sheet and on the reverse. Overall, very good condition. A magnificent, rich print with margins.
Cf. Bloch 934 (motif). – Our sheet is a reduced-scale version based on the linocuts of the same name from 1959. - Picasso invented the ‘reduction’ method, in which the same linoleum block was gradually cut away for each new colour, making it impossible to produce further prints from the original printing block. In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and the Galerie Louise Leiris, new linocut plates were produced at 42 per cent of the original size; the present work is from that edition.
