Exclusive Pablo Picasso Study For Guernica With Mat

Collectible offset lithograph on paper with mat from the portfolio "Guernica: The Preliminary Studies on Paper", published by Salerno Editrice, Rome in 1990. This work is from the limited edition of 999, and are early representations of his concepts for his famous Guernica painting. "The sketches in the portfolio are like a seismograph of his thoughts and feelings, and so they permit us to understand what he really wanted to paint in Guernica. A study of these sketches reveals the progress of the artist at work - his hesitations, his searching, the choices he made. They show the slow formation of the images, the maturation of the initial idea, the successive contributions, the departures; in short, Picasso's way of working, and, as such, they constitute the laboratory of Guernica." Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
