EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOKLET: "Few names are as evocative as that of Guernica. The ruthless bombardment of this small Basque town a regional capital and ancient pilgrimage site became one of the blackest and bloodiest spots in the history of the twentieth century. Today it no longer represents only the massacre of a civilian population and a point of no return in the rise of Fascism: Picasso's painting gave to the name of Guernica the scope of a universal symbol that expresses the barbarism of modern warfare. After its militant exhibitions in 1937 Paris and 1939 New York its long exile and its final arrival in Madrid this 'living legend' is displayed behind bulletproof glass in the Cason del Buen Retiro of the Prado Museum. . Picasso executed forty-five sketches between May 1 and June 4 1937 some of which stand on their own as complete drawings. They included six compositional studies four studies of the horse one of the bull one of the horse and bull alone ten of heads of the horse and bull ten studies of female heads six of the woman with a dead child one of the horse and the woman with the child three heads of dead warriors a study of a man with raised arms and two studies of hands. He used a variety of mediums: pencil india ink gouache and oils; and supports: white blue and brown paper plywood and canvas. These studies are not only extraordinary drawings in their own right but they also show the different states of mind through with Picasso passed as he was working on the painting. They are like a seismograph of his thoughts and feelings and so they permit us to understand what he really wanted to paint in Guernica. A study of these sketches reveals the progress of the artist at work - his hesitations his searching the choices he made. They show the slow formation of the images the maturation of the initial idea the successive contributions the departures; in short Picasso's way of working and as such they constitute the laboratory of Guernica.

1963ref. 61834London Thames and Hudson 1963. Folio-oblong 340 x 400 mm. In the original clothbinding with black printed Picasso-drawings on front board. Housed in the original slipcase. Slipcase with some wear and stains otherwise very nice and clean. 14 pp. 45 linocuts by Picasso. The uncommon and exquisitely printed “Linocuts” by Picasso which marked the beginning a new period for him as an artist. The prints were made by carving away part of the surface of a sheet of linoleum then inking and printing the remaining surface. Picasso began creating linoleum cuts to give color a more prominent role in his graphic work having previously considered it a secondary medium. His linoleum cuts emerged from a desire to adapt previous artistic concepts to a new medium and he quickly achieved original results that were not secondary to his pervious works. Inspired by memories of bullfighting from his youth in Arles and Nimes Picasso focused on this theme in his linoleum cuts produced in the fall of 1959. Despite not having seen bullfights in Spain for many years he felt their influence after the town of Vallauris allowed bullfighting under revised rules in 1954. “Just how and when Picasso became attracted by the linoleum technique is not known. Perhaps it was like the instance of the year 1957 when he capriciously finished his “L’ Arlésienne with pigeon feathers picked up from the floor of his home “La Californie.” It must be assumed aware as we are of Picasso’s working methods that his interest in linoleum technique was derived from some insignificant yet real incident as well as from a response to a deep artistic need. The smooth and supple drawings in India ink and lithograph pencil for the “Tauromaquia” which set the tone for the subsequent linoleum cuts reveal a difference something remarkably new and fresh. The ink drawings particularly point the way to heavy and unmodeled designs which are more crisp and more succinct their similarity with a silhouette-like effect is certainly significant. When he began the series of linoleum cuts the artist was already prepared with a wide range of procedures that would adjust his subjects to the flat extended areas that are inherent in this medium. Although Picasso had made only a few woodcuts in the past he immediately adopted a resolute and robust approach to the new technique and interpreted in the widest possible way the rules of carving such an easily yielding material. Formal principles that embody lines and surfaces as well as pictorial and decorative elements are freely applied to create prints that are sometimes produced from a combination of several individual color blocks or more often from a single linoleum block that was cut and recut. Others browns and blacks reminiscent of Greek vase painting became the dominating color scheme permitting a limited range of color variations. As usual Picasso intuitively developed techniques which exhausted the medium.” From the introduction to the present work hardcover

1962ref. 14645New York: Harry N. Abrams 1962. First. Hardcover. Good. Slipcase with pastedown has gotten a bit chewed up. Several scuffs and nicks and chips of the pastedown edges are visible.

1937ref. 510540Verve 1937. First Edition. Paperback. FINE. Complete run of the first four issues of Teriade's legendary art magazine. Beginning with a stunning cover produced by Matisse for the first issue Verve would incorporate fresh artwork into its cover designed newly commissioned by artists such as Miro Picasso Chagall and other leading lights of the French art world. Each issue offered spectacular color lithographs printed by the Paris lithographers Mourlot. Early issues came in litho-printed card wrappers in boxes later volumes would be in paper-over board with litho covers. This choce allowed Teriade to feature the fresh lithographic artwork in the cover design but left the books themselves extremely fragile and succeptible to wear. Additionally the full-page lithographs have been continuous targets for art dealers looking to excise the plates. So condition seen here is quite rare with each volume preserved COMPLETE FINE with no signs of the wear and toning so commonly seen. 'The cover of Verve No. 1 is by Henri Matisse; it consists of three unmodulated colors--red blue and black--that the master cut directly from printers' ink specimen books. . Mattisse's cover for the first issue lithographed by Fernand Mourlot printers was an original work of art created expressly for the magazine--as would be practically all of the Verve's covers. . The painter took great pains to make sure that the cover would turn out exactly as he wished. . THe care Matisse lavished on what others might consider a minor undertaking was one of the hallmarks of Teriade's publications. How did he induce the greatest artists of this century to give the very best of themelves . Matisse and Teriade shared a common ideal. For both of them painting was life itself.'

Ramon Reventos was a Catalan writer and with his brother Conti long-time friend of Picasso who wrote one of the first articles published on Picasso's work. When Reventos passed away in 1923 his writings fell into obscurity. Many years later Picasso would write to Conti's son: "I loved your uncle so much that when it occurred to me to make him acknowledged here in Paris because this boy did not enjoy the success that he deserved it was during the war 1939-1945. I often went to the National Library on foot with all of the dangers that this entailed in order to copy these two stories and I copied them all by hand. Someday I will show you in my own handwriting" Reventos i Conti Picasso i els Reventos Barcelona 1972 p 20.
