Bacchanal: linocut on paper realized by Pablo Picasso in 1962. Unsigned piece. Between 1958 and 1961 Picasso made many linocuts, finding it very stimulating. He invents the "reduction" method: by progressively cutting the same block of linoleum for each new colour, it becomes impossible to obtain further prints from the original block. In 1962, in collaboration with the Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris, he created new linoleum slabs whose size was 42% of that of the originals; the print proposed here comes from these new plates.
