Five boards each containing between 8-14 smaller pictures, both silver gelatin and C-type.

Provenance

The Roland Collection of Films on Art.

Catalogue Note

Picasso tolerated Quinn's witnessing his work as he tolerated few other photographers. These boards therefore have the merit of describing the sequential changes made by Picasso as he worked. Of great interest to art historians, they show the sometimes very radical alterations Picasso made as he developed from roughest outline to finished painting.
