Description from the seller
Pablo Picasso - Original gouache stencil from 1929
Printed by Daniel Jacomet - Edition of 1500
Perfect condition
Sheet 21 x 27 cm
Stencil 14.5 x 20.5 cm
In 1929, the stencil was an extremely meticulous artisan craft, mainly used for fashion and luxury Art Deco publishing.
The work rests on the manual coloring of a sheet on which the outlines have been pre-printed. Artisans cut with a scalpel sheets of brass, zinc or celluloid — a plate for each shade, sometimes requiring up to 80 stencils for a single image. Using round brushes, sponges or cotton, colorists then apply gouache.
This method offers a unique result: blocks of pure color, a matte material with a perceptible relief and gradients impossible to reproduce with mechanical printing. Long and costly, the technique gradually faded at the beginning of the 1930s as industrial printing processes developed.
