• From the “Suite Vollard”, the heart of Picasso's graphic work.
• In collaboration with the legendary printer Roger Lacourière, Picasso refined the aquatint technique and created an unusually rich, pictorial effect.
• In this print from his neoclassical period, Picasso reflects himself as a mythological alter ego and robber of innocence.
• The etchings that Picasso created for the Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard between 1930 and 1937 are undisputedly among the highlights of 20th-century graphic art.
• The “Suite Vollard” is exhibited regularly around the world, most recently at the Pola Museum of Art in Japan (until May 2025).
