Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) was born in Spain, yet was to establish his reputation in France, begining with his first exhibition at Galerie Vollard in Paris, 1901. Picasso was to become perhaps the greatest printmaker of the Twentieth Century, developing the established techniques of etching and lithography and taking commercial techniques such as the linocut and transforming them into fine art.

Jacques Villon (1875 – 1963) was the brother of the artist Marcel Duchamp and the sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon. As renown painter and engraver himself, Jacques Villon’s translation of Picasso’s painting is not only a technical tour de force, it is a masterpiece of interpretation approved of by the painter.
