OK, so he wasn't so pure, in fact he was evidently quite a scoundrel. But man, take a look at these linoleum prints. Sigh. (If I could channel Pablo just for a DAY...oh yeah, AND have access to the services of his professional printer, Mr. Arnera!!)
I scanned these pics from a book I have out from the library, Picasso: Linoleum Cuts, The Mr. And Mrs. Charles Kramer Collection, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ah, sigh, quiver.... these are something to see, I've not seen many of his prints. I went to Vallauris during a trip to Provence. We visited a pottery museum full of his pots as well as others. (should post those photos on my blog) I missed out on seeing any prints, though. Thanks for the book reference, I'll look for it!
There are several of his ceramic relief prints in t his book as well, and they are gorgeous! Lucky you - a trip to Provence!
