about Le Peintre

This print by Pablo Picasso utilizes perspective and angles to portray an artist in his studio.

In this work, a painter is shown at his easel in profile. With a cooling teal background, the firey hues of paint on the figure's palette are highlighted even more than the dark hues of his clothes against the white of his skin. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
