PABLO PICASSO Deux Buveurs Catalans.
Etching, 1934. 234x295 mm; 9 1/4x11 5/8 inches, full margins. Edition of 260. Signed in pencil, lower right. Picasso watermark. Printed by Lacourière, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris. A superb, richly-inked impression with strong contrasts.
In this iconic etching from the Suite Vollard, Picasso (1881-1973) contrasted two Catalan fishermen having a drink at a tavern, one young and naïve and etched only in outline, the other old and gnarled and expressed through the buildup of closely knit lines. Bloch 228; Baer 442.
