March 19 and 26, 1954
Notes:
1. In addition to the normal reproduction of this work in the complete works catalogue, Pablo Picasso: Catalogue de l’oeuvre gravé et lithographié 1904 – 1967, Georges Bloch also reproduces this work on a full-page of that catalogue (p. 770).
2. There were five remarkable periods in the history of lithography in France. The first, in the beginning of the 19th century, was marked by the works of Delacroix, Gericault and Goya, the second, in the middle of the 19th century, centered on Daumier, while Bonnard, Vuillard and Toulouse-Lautrec dominated the 1890’s. Dufy and Matisse were the major lithographers in the 1920’s, while Picasso was the great lithographer during the period from 1945 – 1967. Among Picasso’s lithographs, La pose habillée is an outstanding example.
