Humanity and Mythology intertwine in Picasso’s La Flûte Double
This vibrant composition, Jeune Faune, Femme, et Enfant, from the La Flûte Double portfolio (1967) transports the viewer to Pablo Picasso’s imaginative heart of Mediterranean Arcadia. This celebration of life and the wild spirit of the ancient world depicts a young faun, woman, and their child as a familiar family unit while displaying the tenderness an intimacy of domesticity.
Printed on hand-made Auvergne Richard de Bas paper using the meticulous Jacomet method, the work captures the fluid, spontaneous ink lines of Picasso’s original 1930s-era drawing on the heavy, deckled-edge paper. This limited edition release by Au Vent d'Arles is highly coveted for its narrative depth, offering a tangible connection to the artist's complex psychological landscape and his mastery of the neoclassical style. Picasso's personal supervision of the printing process is evidenced by his color signature, in the stone, on the lower right of the pochoir.
