One of the most important lithographic series ever created. Picasso’s Portraits Imaginaires dates back to 1969, when the artist was 87 years old. A delivery of supplies to his Mougins studio sparked a frenzy of inspiration that saw Picasso transform every scrap of packaging into 29 theatrical portraits. From Shakespeare to Balzac and theatrical figures, these pieces express all the drama and intensity of the human condition.
Working with master lithographer Marcel Salinas, Picasso reproduced these works in two exclusive editions of 250 prints. These rare lithographs stand as a testament to his enduring genius and relentless drive to innovate. We are proud to bring you a selection.
