Picasso Comes to Whitby

A new touring exhibition, which includes 45 outstanding original linocuts after Pablo Picasso, printed in 1962, is sweeping across North Yorkshire and is a rare chance to buy his work.

The show comes to The Coliseum, Victoria Place, Whitby, YO21 1EZ, Friday 1^st and Saturday 2^nd October, 10am – 5pm and entry to the exhibition is free.

“Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881 and was to become the most famous, versatile, prolific and influential artist of the 20^th century,” says Scarborough based exhibition organiser, Marc Goldmark.  “Whilst the ownership of an original painting is, for the majority of us, out of the question, Picasso’s prints are still relatively accessible.”

The works exhibited are typical Picasso, bacchanals, women, bulls and bullfighters, and this stunning collection offers a unique opportunity for viewers in North Yorkshire to see and purchase linocuts by this incredible artist.

With prices starting at just £350, this is an amazing chance to acquire a linocut by the world’s favourite artist.

More about Picasso and the linocuts:

Between 1958 and 1961 Picasso made many linocuts, a process that he found hugely stimulating. These linocuts were first issued in signed editions of 50 by Galerie Louise Leiris, many of which now sell at between £8,000 and £80,000 each. Picasso invented the ‘reduction’ method, progressively cutting the same linoblock for each new colour, making it impossible to take any further prints from the original plates. In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and Galerie Louise Leiris, new linoleum plates were made at 42% of the original size, and it was from these that the prints on offer here were made.

More about Hockney and the etchings:

David Hockney had always loved Grimm’s Fairy Tales and had read all 220 of them. He also admired earlier illustrations to them by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. In 1969 he decided to make his own images. He especially enjoyed the elements of magic in the tales, and his images focus on his imaginative response to the descriptions in the text rather than attempting to concentrate on the most important events in the narrative. They are therefore more than simply illustrations: they stand on their own as images, independent of the stories.

For instance, Hockney chose Old Rinkrank because it starts with the words ‘A King built a glass mountain’, and he was fascinated by the problem of drawing a glass mountain. He made various attempts, even smashing a sheet of glass and drawing the ragged pieces piled up in a big heap, before finding the solution: he depicted a tree and a house with a glass mountain in front which distorts their reflection. For other images, he turned to earlier artists for inspiration: Uccello for the Prince on horseback in Rapunzel, Bosch for the Enchantress with the baby Rapunzel and Magritte’s surrealist games for the room full of straw in Rumpelstilzchen, as well as Dürer and Leonardo.
