originals lithographs for the Portfolio comprising 71 (26 in colors) Lithographs, and a text by Jean Marcenac
Published by Günther, Bremen, Germany, 1970.
Pablo Picasso, who was convinced by the quality the printshop of Günther Dietz supplied, made three sketchbooks from 1964 available for this portfolio. Dietz reproduced the drawings in a specially developed printing method with the respective authentic color and paint materials like pencil, coal, ink and oil chalk and this created lithographs of a remarkable color fastness and attention to detail. In his insightful preface Jean Marcenac interprets the drawings as personal notes by 83 year old about love and desire (cf. notes on Cramer Livres 148)
