PABLO PICASSO (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, France, 1973)."Le Vieux Roi, 1959.Lithograph on Vélin de Arches paper, edition of 1000.Signed and dated on plate. Signed and dedicated by hand.Printed by Mourlot.Referenced in Bloch 896; Mourlot 317; Güse-Rau 682.Size: 67 x 52 cm; 83 x 67 cm (frame).Creator of cubism together with Braque, Picasso began his artistic studies in Barcelona, at the Provincial School of Fine Arts (1895). Only two years later, in 1897, Picasso held his first solo exhibition at the café "Els Quatre Gats". Paris was to become Pablo's great goal, and in 1900 he moved to the French capital for a short period of time. When he returned to Barcelona, he began to work on a series of works in which the influences of all the artists he had known or whose work he had seen could be seen. He is a sponge that absorbs everything but retains nothing; he is searching for a personal style. Between 1901 and 1907 he developed the Blue and Pink Stages, characterised by the use of these colours and by their subject matter with sordid, isolated figures, with gestures of grief and suffering. The painting of these early years of the 20th century was undergoing continuous changes and Picasso could not remain on the sidelines. He became interested in Cézanne, and based on his example he developed a new pictorial formula together with his friend Braque: Cubism. But Picasso did not stop there and in 1912 he practised collage in painting; from that moment on, anything goes, imagination became the master of art. Picasso was the great revolutionary, and when all the painters were interested in Cubism, he was preoccupied with the classicism of Ingres. The surrealist movement of 1925 did not catch him unawares and, although he did not participate openly, it served as an element of rupture with what had gone before, introducing into his work distorted figures with great force and not exempt from rage and fury. Picasso is represented in the most important museums all over the world, such as the Metropolitan, the MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Hermitage in St Petersburg, the National Gallery in London and the Reina Sofía in Madrid.
