Pablo Picasso / Fernando de Rojas - La Celestina - 2007

Luxury edition of La Celestina edited by Artika Books in collaboration with the Picasso Succession, with a selection of engravings chosen and arranged by the artist himself that illustrate one of his favourite books, the classic by Fernando de Rojas. Copy no. 2543 of 2,998

The 66 reproduced engravings belong to Suite 347, a work Picasso created as a diary of everything he saw, heard, imagined and lived during the French May, with themes related to La Celestina such as the strength and constant struggle of human life. This luxury edition, limited to 2,998 copies, is accompanied by the Studies book, which, through the voices of five authors, opens the vision and enjoyment of these two masterworks. With it, we enter into the richness and detail of all the anecdotes and mischiefs that they both enclose.
