This untitled Faun by the master, Pablo Picasso, is from a limited edition, 1960 portfolio of Pochoirs. Each of the twelve images that compose "Faunes et Flore d'Antibes" was executed by famed Parisian printer, Daniel Jacomet, in close collaboration with Picasso himself.
Picasso originally created these images in 1946 as part of his "Joie de Vivre" series of paintings. The City Council of Antibes requested that Picasso decorate the Chateau Grimaldi. He drew upon figures of classical mythology and his other still life works of that era. In an effort to simplify his subjects and elicit a sensitive interpretation of the spectator, he opted to render his subjects with elements of cubist design.
In 1960, Picasso agreed in to re-create for limited distribution certain pantings as hand embellished Pochoir Lithographs in a portfolio that was published in Paris by Au Pont Des Arts and in the United States by the New York Graphics Society of Greenwich Connecticut.
175 Copies of the portfolio were distributed and sold in the United States, 175 in Paris, where 50 were retained for the artist, publisher, printer, and their friends.
