Picasso began his methods as a peintre-graveur with etching, and continued to move through the graphic landscape working in lithography, but it is his later work in linoleum cuts (linocuts) where his artistry excelled. Desirable for their boldly graphic compositions, delightful use of ornamental patterns, expressive treatment of color, and superior handling of line, Picasso’s linoleum cuts are collectible for their handsome imagery, and as relics of the artist’s pioneering spirit.While it is perhaps impossible to pinpoint an exact chronological start to the artist’s revolutionary practice with linoleum cuts, by understanding the particular qualities of the process it becomes clear why he became so fond of the method. Linoleum cuts are a type of relief printmaking in which the artist-engraver cuts into a block and the remaining negative surface is inked and printed.
