Original linocut poster printed by Imperial Arnera Vallauris for an exhibition of Picasso linocuts at Galerie “65”, Cannes.

This poster represents an exhibition of 45 linoleum-cut prints by Picasso, showcasing his experimentation with relief printing. By the late 1950s, Picasso was exploring linocuts intensively, developing a technique that allowed bold, graphic forms while retaining subtle textural detail.

Produced to accompany an exhibition devoted entirely to Picasso’s linocuts, this poster foregrounds a printmaking technique that allowed for radical simplification and formal clarity. The image exemplifies the strong contours and compressed spatial logic characteristic of his linocut work of the late 1950s.
