AI-assisted summary

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.
