PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973)

 
"La femme au tambourin" (1939) is one of Pablo Picasso’s greatest graphic works. Partially based on compositions by Degas and Poussin, the work exudes a strong Classical presence with a Modernist edge. Thought to be a depiction of Dora Maar, Picasso’s lover at the time, the print is highly coveted by institutional and private collectors. One impression from this edition is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and another is included in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.<br><br>Picasso’s experimentations in printmaking began in the first decade of the 20th century and engaged him for many decades, into the 1970s. In this time, Picasso embraced multiple methods of printmaking, including lithography, etching, aquatint, and linoleum block printing. His earliest prints were, like the present work, intaglio. With La femme au tambourin, Picasso incorporated the additional medium of aquatint, which yielded a watercolor-like effect throughout the composition and an extreme range of tonal qualities. This technique in particular afforded opportunities for expression that could not be found in painting. For his experimental reach and depth of mastery, Picasso’s corpus of graphic work is among the most highly respected and coveted in the history of art, rivaling that of Rembrandt.

Historia

La femme au tambourin (1939) es una de las grandes obras gráficas de Pablo Picasso. Parcialmente basada en composiciones de Degas y Poussin, la obra destila una fuerte presencia clásica con un toque modernista. Se cree que representa a Dora Maar, amante de Picasso en aquella época, y es muy codiciada por coleccionistas institucionales y privados. Una impresión de esta edición forma parte de la colección permanente del Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York, y otra de la National Gallery of Art de Washington, D.C.

La experimentación de Picasso con el grabado comenzó en la primera década del siglo XX y se prolongó durante varias décadas, hasta los años setenta. Durante este tiempo, Picasso utilizó múltiples métodos de grabado, como la litografía, el aguafuerte, el aguatinta y la impresión con bloques de linóleo. Sus primeros grabados fueron, como la presente obra, calcográficos. Con La femme au tambourin, Picasso incorporó el medio adicional del aguatinta, que produjo un efecto similar a la acuarela en toda la composición y una gama extrema de calidades tonales. Esta técnica en particular ofrecía oportunidades de expresión que no podían encontrarse en la pintura. Por su alcance experimental y la profundidad de su maestría, la obra gráfica de Picasso es una de las más respetadas y codiciadas de la historia del arte, rivalizando con la de Rembrandt.

  • Se trata de una edición increíblemente reducida, de sólo 30 impresiones, varias de las cuales ya forman parte de colecciones de museos.
  • Después de los años 50, Picasso se volvió mucho más prolífico. Sus obras de los extremadamente prolíficos años 60 y 70 están alcanzando nuevos récords, y sus grandes obras de los años 30 y 40 son prácticamente inencontrables.
  • La femme au tambourin se encuentra entre el 15% de las mejores obras de Picasso de este periodo.
  • Las obras cubistas, las que datan (aproximadamente) de 1907 a 1920, son posiblemente las más raras después de las del Periodo Azul y Rosa. Las obras de su periodo neoclásico (desde la guerra de los años treinta hasta finales de los cuarenta) no le van a la zaga.
