Picasso's Vollard Suite by Pablo Picasso
The 100 etchings made by Picasso between 1930 and 1937 for the great art critic and dealer Ambroise Vollard have long been recognised as one of the supreme productions of the master's hand. These plates show, more than any of his other works, a man at once inspired by and prey to his dazzling imagination and the demands of his inner daemon.

Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881, and went on to become one of the greatest and most influential artists of the twentieth century. He settled in Paris in 1904 and experimented with a number of artistic styles before producing 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon', a revolutionary work that introduced Cubism to the world. In 1937 he produced 'Guernica', one of his most famous works, as a response to the Spanish Civil War. He later become involved with the Surrealist movement. He remained in Paris throughout the Nazi occupation and died near Cannes in 1973, leaving behind four children and innumerable paintings, sculptures, etchings and ceramics.
