Picasso on Paper

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is widely recognised as the greatest artist – and greatest printmaker – of the twentieth century. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Dean Gallery in Edinburgh, charts the full range of Picasso’s graphic work, from a pastel drawing made in the late 1890s, when he was still a teenager, to a drawing made in 1971, when he was eighty-nine years old. It covers the full range of his printmaking activity, from etchings and engravings to colour linocuts and lithographs.
