Diurnes. Decoupages et Photographies De Pablo Picasso.
DELUXE EDITION with Linoleum Cut Signed and Numbered By Picasso. Andre` Villers & Jacques Prevert. Folio. From Cramer (#115): "This book is the result of collaboration between Picasso, the photographer Villers and Prevert. Employing a technique he started using in 1943, Picasso made some cut-outs of heads and silhouettes of men, women and animals. Villers mounted the cut-outs on different photographs - 30 in all - thus varying their effect and quality. Finally, Prevert, letting his eyes wander from image, gives a delighful account of his visual promenade. Picasso drew the title and a face for the cover of the presentation box, which contains Prevert's text and the 30 photos-decoupages. The 100 deluxe copies (our copy is the #58) are accompained by a color linocut representing a seated woman (Bloch 1062), signed and numbered by Picasso. In box. Fine condition. $20,000.00
