This colorful, complex portrait of his son Paulo in the costume of a harlequin demonstrates the depth and versatility of Cubism as practiced by Pablo Picasso. Completely reduced to shapes and forms, the face of the sitter is barely recognizable due to the artist's manipulation of perspective and infusion of otherwise unseen views. A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after an original work by Pablo Picasso. 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 between 1979 and 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer's chop, lower left. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
