"29.1.54. II." This offset print features a minimalist, linear composition depicting a seated female nude facing a small, stylized figure wearing a large, bearded mask. The work is characterized by Picasso's late-period aesthetic, utilizing a vibrant palette of primary and secondary colours to define the simplified contours of the subjects. The female figure is rendered with fluid, flowing lines in yellow and green, while the masked figure is outlined in red and blue, creating a playful yet enigmatic dialogue between the two forms. This print belongs to a series of drawings created in January 1954, which often explored themes of the artist and model, theatricality, and the intersection of reality and masquerade. Pablo Picasso was a revolutionary Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, and the co-invention of collage. His artistic career spanned over seven decades, during which he constantly reinvented his style, moving from the realism of his early years through his Blue and Rose periods to his highly experimental late works. Picasso's immense body of work remains a cornerstone of modern art, characterized by a restless pursuit of new forms of expression and a profound influence on nearly every artistic movement that followed.
