| | Pablo Picasso was never shy about depicting eroticism in his work. From his earliest drawings to his last series, sex in all its pathos, pain, humor and lust is a constant influence. Coskun Fine Art's exhibition includes many works from his famous 347 series. Produced in a torrent at the age of eighty-seven Suite 347 was Picasso‚s penultimate series of prints made in collaboration with the master printers Aldo and Piero Crommelynck at their studio at Mougins, in the South of France. Completed between 16 March and 5 October 1968, the series was originally created as illustrations for Fernando de Roja's 1499 novel La Célestine illustrating the life of an ageing procuress. The subject matter, however, is more of human encounters, described by Picasso himself as ‘theatrum mundi' and was influenced by his own life, his art, and the art of other masters such as Rembrandt, Degas, Velázquez, and Goya. The result is a series of delicately drawn erotic encounters that are both touching in their humanity and sensual in their depiction.
Pablo Picasso 347 series 1968 are available from Coskun Fine Art with a guide price of £6000.
