Pablo PICASSO (1881–1973) (after) Imaginary Portraits – King, 1969 Lithograph on cardboard Signed on the plate and dated 2/22/69 Printed by Marcel Salinas, published by Le Cercle d’Art 71 x 52 cm Bibliography: Czwiklitzer, no. 403 Note: The Imaginary Portraits, created by Pablo Picasso in 1969, belong to the artist’s late period, marked by a particularly assertive formal and chromatic freedom. This King depicts one of the historical and theatrical figures that populated his imagination at the time: the deconstructed face, crown, and costume are rendered in bold colors and a deliberately spontaneous style. This lithograph, based on Picasso’s work and created by Marcel Salinas, published by Le Cercle d’Art, captures the energy of this famous series.
