Catalogue Note
By 1972, Picasso was avidly making color linoleum cuts, preferring the ease of cutting this material to more cumbersome color lithography and favoring the broad planes of color they produced. His wife Jacqueline became his muse for several lithographs and linoleum cuts in the latter part of his life. The journalist Pepita Dupont has written that “Jacqueline was very sensual, and with Picasso the chemistry was immediate. There was a strong complicity, love and eroticism. And in her, Picasso found all that a man seeks in a woman: she was at the same time his mistress, his mother, his sister, his accomplice and his muse.”
