About the Item: Medium: lithograph, collage and stencil poster. This work consists of a lithograph mounted onto brown wove paper, with a collage of hand-cut newsprint letters and stenciled text in red and blue ink.

About The Artist
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in Málaga, Spain, Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent from a young age. He moved to Paris in 1904, where he became a central figure in the avant-garde movement.
Picasso co-founded the Cubist movement, alongside Georges Braque, revolutionizing European painting and sculpture. His work is often categorized into periods, the most famous being the Blue Period, characterized by somber tones and subjects; the Rose Period, known for its warmer colors and circus themes; and the African art-inspired period, which led to the development of Cubism.
