Published by Éditions Cercle d'Art; printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, April-June 1961. Excerpted from the volume. This volume published by Charles Feld and carried out under his direction was printed during the Second Quarter, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-One with the collaboration for the illustrations, Imprimerie Moderne du Lion; for the typography, L'Imprimerie Union; for the photoengraving, Bosson et Auclair; for the binding, Barast et Adine; for the lithography, Fernand Mourlot. One of the great charms of Picasso's sketchbooks is the way they reflect the drive and spontaneity of the artist. Quick release of the swarming images was all that mattered; whether pages were upside-down, smudged and splattered, thumb-printed or rubbed—all these were trifles, non-existent. But we have reproduced the sheets exactly as they are in the sketchbooks, "blemishes" and all, and even the paper for these facsimiles was specially grained and tinted to approximate the original. That is perhaps why the drawings in this book seem almost a personal communication to the viewer, from the hand of the artist. extracted from Toros y Toreros very 1st Edition 1961, text by Luis Miguel Dominguin, published by Editions Cercles D'Art Excellent condition (Coa and documentation included) In excellent condition Size: 37 x 27 cm I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
