Title: Nature Morte a la Pasteque [Still Life with a Watermelon] Artist: Pablo Picasso External website: here Date of Work: 1962 Medium: print:linocut Dimensions: 620 h x 750w mm   Caption: Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) was arguably the most influential artist of the twentieth century. For a few years in his eighties he experimented with making linocut prints with printer Hidalgo Arnera. Together they revolutionised the medium developing a technique which only uses one lino board to build the whole image. You can feel the sunshine of the South of France in this simple still life.   Object Number: 2022.8.1 Acknowledgements: Reading Foundation for Art Collection, the gift of a proud Reading man Copyright: Image: Reading Borough Council / Intellectual: Succession Picasso   Back
