I even prefer it to daylight[...], You should come one day to see how the light picks out every object, how deep, black shadows play around the pictures and are thrown against the beams. You can find it in almost every still life. I painted most of them by night.''PABLO PICASSOThe genre of still life has a prominent position in Picasso's oeuvre, fromhis early Cubist still lifes to the memento mori created during the WarWorld II period and later in the Post War years.Nature morte sous la lampe (Still life under the Lamp) is consideredPicasso's masterpiece of colour linocut and is included in every surveyof 20th Century printmaking.The classic composition of this still life follows the tradition of his greatrole model Cézanne.Picasso uses common objects from anywhere: a glass, apples, alamp, a plain wood table - the object at its most ordinary. As the artistexpressed it: 'I make reference to objects that belong to everybody''.The composition is constructed in nine stages, beginning with a blankwhite background, Picasso cut and printed the single block in eachsuccessive colour, building the image with increasing complexity. Thisgroundbreaking technique was invented by Picasso and is known asthe 'reduction' method.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
