Title: The Sailor’s Dream – Women in every Port, from: Series 347 | Rêve de marin : des femmes dans chaque port, 1968
Technique: Original Hand Signed and Numbered Etching on Wove Paper
Paper size: 35 x 42.5 cm. / 13.8 x 16.7 in. Image size: 22 x 29 cm. / 8.7 x 11.4 in.
Additional Information: This etching is hand signed in pencil by the artist “Picasso” at the lower right margin. It is dated in the plate “1er mai 1968.II” It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition of 50, at the lower left margin. There were also 17 artist’s proofs aside from the standard edition. This etching was printed in 1968 by the Crommelynck Brothers in France and published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris the following year. This work is the 47th composition in the 347 series.
Note: The “347 Series” was, in printmaking, the undertaking which defined late Picasso. This prodigious outpouring of work, dating from March 16th–October 5th, 1968, deals with all his old themes and fantasies, adding an obsession newly central in the late 60s, the artist as voyeur. It is in this role, rather than that of a protagonist, that the artist figures in these fantastic narrations. In order to be able to work with full freedom and concentration, Picasso had his printers, the brothers Crommelynck, bring the etching plates and hand press to his farmhouse near Cannes.

Picasso (1881- 1973) was introduced to art in his early childhood by his father who was an art professor at the Academy in Barcelona. Picasso´s early paintings from Paris are influenced by Toulouse-Lautrec, Honoré Daumier and Paul Gauguin. An interest in Art Nouveau and Symbolism culminated in Picasso´s ´blue period´ in which he concentrated on the depiction of suffering, haggard, slightly anaemic people, reflecting the fin-de-siècle mood of pessimism. In Paris Picasso´s contact with innovative art circles led to a new and different style: the ´pink period´, which lasted from 1904 to 1906. The ´Demoiselles d´Avignon´ of 1907 mark the beginning of his Cubist period in which he exceeded the classical form. The works produced between 1909 and 1912 are considered analytically Cubist: The picture surface is divid
