'Peintre et Modèle avec une Spectatrice au Bandeau' is a captivating print that showcases the Picasso's unique approach to portraiture. The print depicts a painter and his model, with a spectator wearing a headband observing the scene. The artist's characteristic style is evident in the fragmented and geometric representation of the figures. The composition evokes a sense of dynamism and movement, as the artist explores the interplay between form, space, and perspective. With its bold lines and abstracted forms 'Peintre et Modèle avec une Spectatrice au Bandeau' exemplifies Picasso's ability to challenge traditional notions of representation and invite viewers into his innovative artistic world by showing the artist himself at work in his studio.
Marina Picasso, the granddaughter of Pablo Picasso, inherited a substantial portion of her grandfather's estate, including a remarkable collection of prints that spans various periods of Picasso's artistic career. Most of these prints where artist's proofs that Picasso kept for himself and therefore they are not signed. However, they can be identified nowadays with the Marina Picasso collection stamp.
The Artist's Estate. Collection Marina Picasso (with the collector's stamp on the reverse, Lugt 3698, numbered "26531") Jan Krugier Gallery, New York. Private Collection, Northern Germany, since 2000.
