Pablo Picasso (Spanish 1881-1973) NATURE MORTE AU CHARLOTT signed and editioned 136/350 with pencil in the margin; label on the reverse bears the artist's name and title screenprint printed in colours PROVENANCEFrom: Wolpe Gallery 68,5 by 57cm Using enticing colour combinations of soft sky-blues, rich browns and sombre greys, Pablo Picasso draws the viewer into a delectable still-life of a table set with a glass, a plate and a popular European dessert, a charlotte or icebox cake. The white highlight at the centre of the composition hints at a curtain being partially drawn back to illuminate the table setting. This particular image is derived from an original painting by the artist, Nature Morte à la Charlotte (1924), which is currently housed in the collection of the Centre Pompidou, Paris1. The style of the print speaks to synthetic Cubism, of which Picasso was one of the pioneers. This entails 3-dimensional objects being depicted from multiple viewpoints while simultaneously flattening the depth of the image, inspired by Paul Cezanne’s words in 1907, “You must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, and the coneâ€2 . Although staying true to its conventions, Picasso has also introduced more organic shapes and lines in this work, adding subtlety to the striking disjointedness that Cubism may convey. 1 Centre Pompidou, “Nature Morte à la Charlotte.†2 Robert Fisher, Picasso (New York: Tudor Publishing, 1967), 6-7- LD
