Nu: A Cubist Vision in Sculptural Charcoal
This rare pochoir after an original Picasso sketch, titled "Nu" (Nude), is a profound highlight from the 1962 portfolio Un Éventail, published by Éditions d’Art. In this work, Picasso revisits the radical innovations of his early Cubist period, presenting a female figure deconstructed into a series of rhythmic, sculptural planes. The composition is a masterclass in balance, using the stark contrast of light and shadow to suggest depth and volume within a flattened, geometric space.
The technical reproduction is a feat of mid-century artistry by Daniel Jacomet. By layering lithography with the hand-applied pochoir technique, the print perfectly emulates the smudged, atmospheric quality of Picasso’s original charcoal. The rich, velvety blacks and soft gradients give the artwork the tactile appearance of a unique drawing on heavy Arches paper. Discoloration and paper color in print is intentional and part of the design. Limited to an edition of only 260.
