This is an original Print that is titled " The Country Dance" and has a Bio and information affix on the back of the verso of the piece which is referenced in the photos and depicts a Man and Woman or Couple standing with beautiful Pose and Posture. A painter and printmaker who revolutionized western art, Pablo Picasso was born in Spain and lived most of his life either there or in France. His father was an art teacher, and the young Pablo grew up in an artistic environment. By the age of fourteen, he was an accomplished draftsman, and in 1900 at age nineteen, he made his first trip to Paris. There he studied the Old Masters* and Classical* sculpture and also was exposed to the paintings of Impressionists* and Post Impressionists*. Between 1901 and 1904, his work was dominated by a blue palette, which has led to this time being called his "Blue Period". Blue, for him, was to symbolize the suffering-frequently hunger and cold, the hardships he experienced while attempting to establish himself." By 1905, his 'Rose or Circus Period' was beginning, and also later that year, he became doing painting reflective of a growing interest in African masks. By 1907, he painted what is regarded as his first masterpiece and as the first Cubist painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Although he said: "I think about Death all the time. She is the only woman who never leaves me." (Walther) His relationships with 'live' women influenced much of his artwork. It is thought that his switch from 'blue' to 'rose', that is from depression to happiness, was determined by his meeting Fernande Olivier, allegedly his first serious female relationship. He lived with her for seven years. From that time, he did numerous portraits of wives, children and mistresses. In 1908, Picasso began working in Paris with Georges Braque (1882-1963), and together until 1914 and the beginning of World War I, they created collages* and the first phase of Cubism* that included still life and portraits. They worked so closely together that many scholars are unable to tell some of their work apart or to determine which of them contributed certain concepts. This was done with great detail in both color and clarity with beautiful characteristics of their facial features and their expression of parity with their mannerism of the time and beautiful detail in their clothing of the time period. This has beautiful color tones that were very well blended with fine detail. This could be a form of expression through the artist of Tradition, Love, Family, Tranquility and can mean so many things to so many different people. The beauty of art is that there are many different ways of looking at this painting and the beauty is all in the eye of the beholder.
