We are inspired by the IFPDA’s dedication to printmaking and delighted that they found a way to continue holding the print fair these past few uncertain years. We are honored to be an exhibitor at this year’s Spring 2022 online virtual fair, presenting a specially selected collection of work by two of the most iconic printmakers: Pablo Picasso and Edvard Munch. Our featured works Picasso are comprised of pieces that span the entirety of the artist’s career, showing the innovative ways in which, he explored techniques within drawing, etching, linocut, and lithography throughout the years. Included in the collection is the notable La Minotauromachie (B288), an etching and engraving done in 1935 that encompasses several of Picasso’s most recognizable motifs, such as the mythical Minotaur, and contains complex symbolism of Picasso’s personal strife at the time and reflecting the state of the polititical. Another standout, the drypoint Portrait d’Olga au Col de Fourrure (Ba109), is a portrait of Picasso’s first wife. Done in 1923, Picasso captured a rarely seen emotional and intimate side of Olga. The selected works by Munch ranges from the end of the 19th century to the start of the 20th— a creative time period during which Munch produced many of his most significant works. The 1894 drypoint, To mennesker. De ensomme (Two human beings; The lonely ones) (W13), encapsulates the artist’s ability to tap into and acutely display melancholy themes of love and loneliness during a time period when it was unconventional to create art based on human emotion. Please enjoy looking through the collections we put together, and we hope to see you in person at the John Szoke Gallery for even more prints by these renowned artists.
