PABLO PICASSO
(Málaga, Spain, 1881 - Moulins, France, 1973)
Erotic Series #3, from suite 156
Signed on plate
Serigraph without print run number
The series of 156 prints, published by the Galerie Louise Leiris, is made up of 156 prints that continue the unbridled spirit of addressing eroticism and feature a large number of characters. These images represent an apparently idle, fun and joyful world, in which the melancholy of frustrated desire and lost virility underlie. The uncontrolled desire of the mind does not allow the old painter to develop his erotic fantasies beyond the act of creating.
In the 156 prints, Picasso pays a particular tribute to Degas with the series of prints dedicated to the story La Maison Tellier by Guy de Maupassant.
