signed and dated 21.2.68 in the plate lithograph in colours, Archers watermarked paper In the last decade of Picasso’s expansive life, theartist explored his child-like curiosity in multipleprints that celebrated the archetype of the clown.With the use of vibrant colour and his masterful freehand, Pablo Picasso managed to capture his ownlove of whimsy and folly.Throughout his prolific career, the artist, who wasonce considered a child prodigy, spoke often of thegenius of childhood. He famously remarked, “It tookme four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetimeto paint like a child.”(1) Picasso was fascinated withthe freedom of the art of children, the expansiveoriginality and utter lack of self-consciousness.What would become known as the artist’s RosePeriod explored Picasso’s captivation with clowns,saltimbanques and harlequins. Despite the subjectmatter, the earlier period, often referred to as hisCircus Period, was still weighted with a sense ofmelancholia(2). As he unknowingly approachedhis death in 1973, the icon’s work became moreexpressive, experimenting with vivid colour anda multitude of varying styles. His final works,including his clown prints, now stand as testamentto the artist’s perpetual desire for rejuvenation andreinvention, even in his last chapter.1. Daniel. A. Siedell.

Graham Sutherland (1903-1980) British 20th Century, was one of the most influential British artists of the 20th Century. Born in Steatham, London, Sutherland studied at the Goldsmiths School of art, specialising in engraving and etching and then spent many years teaching at the Chelsea School of Art. Printmaking, predominantly raomantic landscapes, dominated his work during the 1920s, drawing inspiration from artists such as Samuel Palmer. He later switched to oil painting during his 30s following the collapse of the printmaking industry during the Great Depression and it was his surrealist abstract landscape compositions that secured his reputation as an international modern artist. Together with his close friend Francis Bacon, Sutherland was one of the main figureheads for surrealist painting in Britain. His landscapes covey haunted atmospheres that attempted to express the concept of brutality present within nature.
