Pablo Picasso - mit richtigem Namen Pablo Ruiz y Picasso - wurde 1881 in Málaga/ Spanien geboren. Der spanische Maler, Grafiker und Bildhauer gilt als einer bedeutendsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Œuvre besticht durch eine Vielfalt an künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen von klassischen bis abstrakten Darstellungen und umfasst Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Grafiken, Plastikenund Keramiken. Sein künstlerisches Schaffen hatte großen Einfluss auf die Kunst der Moderne. Zu den bekanntesten Arbeiten Picassos zählt das präkubistische Gemälde "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) und das grossformatige Werk "Guernica" (1937), welches die Schrecken des spanischen Bürgerkrieges zum Thema hat. Ebenso das Motiv der Taube auf einem Plakat für den Pariser Weltfriedenskongress im Jahre 1949 wurde zu einem weltweiten Friedenssymbol.

Features and remarks
Here you have the opportunity to purchase a limited edition colour lithograph based on a drawing by the world-famous Pablo Picasso.
The graphic was signed by Picasso by hand.
Carnival on the Côte d'Azur
Picasso loved the Côte d'Azur and had been visiting the French Mediterranean coast regularly since the 1940s, eventually settling there permanently. In 1955, Picasso bought the villa ‘La Californie’ in Canne, and in 1961 he settled in Mougin a little further north
In nearby Nice, the ‘Carnaval de Nice’ takes place every year in February. It is the largest event on the Côte d'Azur and one of the biggest carnival festivals in the world. Picasso, for whom jugglers, circus performers and clowns have been important motifs in his paintings since at least his ‘pink period’, celebrated in Nice and was repeatedly inspired by the colourful hustle and bustle.
Picasso created the drawing shown here at the beginning of 1961, using coloured chalk to draw a pointy-haired joker with large eyes. The drawing was first published in the newspaper Le Patriote on 2 February 1961 and later published as a limited edition lithograph by the famous publisher Mourlot.
Pablo Picasso authorised the print by signing it by hand. This is number 145 of 200 copies.
„ There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence transform a yellow spot into a sun.“
Pablo Picasso, 1957
