Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) - “Les Pigeons, 1957”.

Pablo Picasso: “Les Pigeons, 1957”.

Authorized color offset lithograph.
Condition: the work is in excellent condition.

In 1955 Picasso bought 'La Californie', a villa in Cannes.
His studio offered a sweeping view of the garden, which has since become a frequent and varied motif in the artist's work.

Toward the end of the late fifties, Picasso devoted increasing time to studying works by older masters, painting his own versions of Velázquez's 'Las Meninas' and Manet's 'Déjeuner sur l'herbe'.

He also returned to subjects from earlier years, such as 'Bathing Women', and to his central theme 'The Painter and His Model'. And he found new models in the many doves nesting on the ground floor of his villa, where he built a new studio. Amidst his reworkings of earlier artists, and amidst the creative bustle that characterized these years, 'The Doves' appears calm and harmonious. Despite the impulsive brushstrokes, executed with a quick yet confident hand, the overall composition is one of classical unity.

Through a large atelier window we see the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The scene is framed by the window style and the decorative grille, while the trees on the right connect the foreground and background. The attractive leads of this poetic mood-painting remain, however, the doves themselves. Both the style and the composition of this painting recall Matisse, Picasso's friend and rival who died in 1954.
