Still life under the lamp, 4th state - Pablo Picasso

In autumn 2024, the British Museum had an exhibition of Picasso prints, drawings and etchings.

 

This print is considered Picasso's masterpiece in colour linocut. He made it using the reduction linocut technique in which he used a single block, cutting and printing each colour in stages. Each stage involved destruction of the previous state so there was no room for error.
