Summary On the 50th anniversary of Picasso's death, a book devoted to the progressive proofs by the leading Spanish master. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), one of the towering creative figures of the 20th century, Picasso and the Progressive Proof: Linocut Prints from a Private Collection explores in depth an aspect of the artist's late graphic output: the linoleum block or linocut. Published prints and their related proofs drawn from a notable private collection are examined in the context of themes Picasso developed over his entire career: the Spanish-born artist's love of the corrida or bullfight; his interest in Antiquity; and above all, his competition with the Old Masters. With this project we examine for the first time in depth a particularly illuminating set of eight progressive proofs made by Picasso and his printer Hidalgo Arnéra for the artist's first published linocut, the so-called Cranach II (Baer 1053; 1958). The first in a series in the medium of linoleum block prints (after a singular effort in 1939), Picasso created the first Portrait of a Young Girl after Cranach the Younger in two colours and in the same orientation as the Cranach original on 3 July 1958. The following day he commenced making five different linoleum blocks - bistre or grayish brown, yellow, red, blue and black -- to be superimposed on each other in that order and in reverse of the original, the Cranach II print. This event touched off a decade of work in linocut (or linoleum block) printmaking, inspired by the South of France, where the artist had increasingly worked since the 1940s. Speaking to the artist's love affair with the region, he begins a series of linocuts depicting the bullfight. Nine proofs for the Pique.II (1959) attest to this.
