- Summary:
-
Pablo Picasso's 'Vollard Suite' is a set of 100 etchings, engravings and aquatints created by the artist in the 1930s and named after Ambroise Vollard, his sometime art dealer and publisher. It contains several themes that were close to Picasso's heart - principally the classically derived subjects of the Minotaur (the man-beast) and Pygmalion (the artist obsessed with his model).
- Notes:
- "The Vollard Suite is regarded as one of the greatest print suites, and perhaps the most enigmatic and famous of the twentieth century. Comprising 100 intaglio prints it was made by Pablo Picasso between 1930 and 1937 in Paris and at the Château de Boisgeloup - a country property near Paris the artist acquired in 1930. Although executed over a seven-year period, the majority of the plates date from 1933. This was the year when Modern art dealer and print publisher Ambroise Vollard commissioned Picasso to make the expanded series of 100 plates in exchange for a selection of French Impressionist paintings in Vollard's private collection. It is thought that Vollard's original intentions had been to use the works to illustrate a lavish livre d'artiste, and between 1936 and 1937 he enlisted master-printer Roger Lacourière to edition the works in preparation for publication. The National Gallery of Australia is one of the few cultural institutions in the world to hold the complete suite of 100." --National Gallery of Australia web page.
