Picasso's selection of the clown, a comedic and sometimes tragic character, represented his later egos to explore the human condition. At 86 years old, his sense of play and spontaneity was still on full display. The composition, characterized by bold, rhythmic lines and an exuberant use of color perfectly captures his \"Late Period\" style that defined newfound freedom of movement and abandonment of societal constraints. After the Clown depiction gained notoriety, it was reproduced as a poster to advertise an upcoming Picasso exhibition and ultimately elevated to fine art as a limited edition lithograph after Picasso's original wax chalk drawing executed earlier that year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted on \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500;\"\u003eArches vellum\u003c\/strong\u003e by the master, \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500;\"\u003eHenri Deschamps\u003c\/strong\u003e in the workshop of \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500;\"\u003eAtelier Mourlot\u003c\/strong\u003e, Paris, this \"Clown\" has the pedigree of royalty rather than jester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 0; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eArtwork Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pablo Picasso (after)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ccite lang=\"fr\"\u003eLe Clown\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\/300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Signed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37 ½” x 32 ¾ x 1 ¾”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 ¼\" x 18 ¾\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 ⅝\" x 12 ¾\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Henri Deschamps \u0026amp; Atelier Mourlot, Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamet Arts, Inc., New York, 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orozoco Interpretation Lithographs No. 87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithograph is free of foxing, stains, tears, acid burn, creasing, folds, or other damage.

As a co-founder of Cubism, his global fame was born from fractured perspectives and autobiographical themes that reached new audiences with a never-before-seen style that simultaneously amplified his celebrity. His genius was never restrained by any particular movement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #333; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eHis storied career began at home, followed by a formal academic education in Spain before moving to the global creative epicenter of Paris, France. Following the introspective melancholy of his retreat to Barcelona at the start of the 20th-century, as expressed in his Blue Period, Picasso returned to Paris to solidify his place at the forefront of the avant-garde for the next 70 years. With critical success came the freedom to experiment across every conceivable medium. He frequently used his formative works on paper as prototypes, or studies, for his masterpieces on canvas, making his graphic works an essential record of his creative process. Picasso's artistic achievements and celebrity status were, and forever will be, unmatched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"popup-h3\"\u003ePicasso and his Graphic Works\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #333; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003ePicasso famously viewed his printmaking as a \"personal diary,\" a medium through which he explored the continuous metamorphosis of his creative vision. Over his seven decade career, he produced more than 2,400 works across every conceivable graphic medium. Ranging from the intricate detail of original etchings and lithographs, to the bold, vibrant textures of his linocuts.
