Art writer Charlotte Mullins takes a look at a set of Picasso linocuts acquired by the British Museum in 2014, with help from Art Fund. The two prints, Still Life under the Lamp and Jacqueline Reading, were both made in 1962, when the artist was 80 years old.

Its what is called a reduction print when you use just one block. Quite common in lino print making.

Picasso never did any of this.

I am considering this medium. I think it is so practical to make one design like this with only one plate.

WOW, love the still life lino-cut. I'd like to try to do this reduction technique but I think with my brain injury I'd do it totally wrong and find it too difficult. Also the printing inks I've got aren't really opaque so if I put green over red (as here) I'd get brown.

Harvard Art Museums also has an excellent example of his lino reduction process. 😎

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH LINOCUTS? THE NATURAL USE OF CUTS TO HIDE THE PRESENCE OF FALSE LINES AND TO CREATE JUST AGREEABLE COMPOSITIONS.

@phillipstroll7385 2 жыл бұрын

Picasso didn't lino cut and he sure in the shit didn't lino print. Another man did it. Why not give him the credit he deserves. Disgusting.

@@catalogodefantasmas Ok, I will prove you wrong. Take a random sampling of Picasso's drawings, starting with the quick work he made of his entrance portfolio when entering art school in Madrid, and on throughout his career. Try to do a copy of any of them, or try to at least emulate the styles with equal success and gravity. I do not even need to see the results, because you cannot do it. No one can, only Picasso. All this is to say nothing of Picasso's deeply felt and realized content and sense of form and space, and exquisitely beautiful linework. This experiment doesn't even delve into his paintings, which are also unapproachable for similar reasons. I'm sure you have some sort of dopey response, so you can have the last word since I will not debate further with a mental midget.

@@KpxUrz5745 You haven't proven anything except that you are a Picasso fanatic. The line of his early works is not exceptional, and even if it were, that circumstance does not change the fact that his art is made of a dirty ego and does not convey anything to me. If that bothers you, it's not my problem. Don't bother answering me, in principle, I didn't even ask for your opinion, oligophrenic.
