Bacchanale, c. 1955 Artist: Medium: Image Size: Sheet Size: Signature: Edition:
Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, 1973), After Color Etching and Aquatint 22 in x 18 1/4 in (55.9 cm x 46.4 cm) 30 in x 22 in (76.2 cm x 55.9 cm) Hand signed by Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin. Numbered edition of 300 in the lower left margin.
Description: The thoughtful, and fully clothed, male figure on the right is particularly amusing because he possesses an uncanny resemblance to the infamous creator of this work, Pablo Picasso himself. Clad in a horizontal stripped shirt, the favorite sailing attire of Picasso, this mysterious figure possesses a playful and simultaneously deep and mysterious personality. There is a wealth of detail and imagery that captivates our senses in this magnificent and rare work. Combing his color plate from the very early Blue Period with his complex cubist sensibilities of the forties and fifties, this is a well-rounded work that will provide an ideal contribution to any serious Picasso collection. Created after an original oil painting of the same title, this color etching and aquatint, is printed on BFK Reves watermarked paper. Hand-signed by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, 1973)in pencil in the lower right side, this work is nmbered from the edition of 300 in pencil in the lower left. Published by Crommelynck, Paris, this piece contains the Crommelynck blindstamp in the lower left corner.

Numbered from the edition of 200 in pencil in the lower left margin.
Description: Full of action and capturing the energy and emotion of an arena during a mid-summer's day, this is one of Picasso's best aquatints as it is representative of one of his all-time favorite subjects: bullfighting. Offering us an aerial view of the exciting events below, Picasso utilizes vivid colors and swirling strokes to further convey the sense of anticipation and chaos that goes hand in hand with such an event. "In the work of Picasso, the bull is like one of those Spanish rivers, turbulent and agitated, which lose themselves among the brambles, rocks, and reeds, only to reappear later at some other place further on, in plain sight. There are times when it appears that the bull is adumbrated even in the 'figures' of the painter, figures as profound as they are debatable and enigmatic" (Marrero, 83). Picasso and the bull by Vincente Marrero SuaĂŒrez. H. Regnery Co, 1956.
