拍品专文

Initially, in the early 1950's, Picasso was content to use linocuting to produce quick, cheap posters advertising exhibitons and bullfights in Vallauris. However he soon realised that the technique was capable of much more, and between 1958 and 1962 completely transformed the medium. Here he uses it to obtain broad, flat areas of colour and sweeping curves that could not be obtained in any other medium.
