Picasso's Posters

Written by  Editor

The Department of Culture presents an exhibition of 55 posters by Pablo Picasso produced by himself for his exhibitions.

The exhibition, organized by the Deputation of Malaga, will be open at the Casa de la Juventud in the Plaza de las Flores in Estepona from 28 January to 18 March 2012.
It is a collection of works by the painter, mostly for exhibitions. This art form is the least known of his extensive work, with greater emphasis on painting, ceramics and sculpture, leading the municipality to offer an original and innovative view of the artist from Malaga.
Among the various techniques used, the linocut stands out, a procedure carried out on a sheet of linoleum, with a high density that allows the gouge and blade to be used producing very fine details. Motivated by the ease with which he was able to work, the artist came up with a printing process in different colors using a single plate which later came to be known by specialists as the 'Picasso method'.
This activity is part of the ‘Picasso 20 miradas' project in cooperation with the city of Málaga, Málaga University and the Board of Andalucia.
