Title: Two Catalan Drinkers, from: The Suite Vollard | Deux Buveurs Catalans: La Suite Vollard, 1934
Technique: Original Hand Signed Etching on Montval Laid Paper with Vollard Watermark
Paper size: 33.6 x 44.5 cm. / 13.2 x 17.5 in.
Image size: 23.5 x 29.7 cm. / 9.3 x 11.7 in.
Additional Information: This original etching is hand signed by the artist “Picasso” at the lower right.
It was printed in by Lacourière in a limited edition of 250 impressions and published by Ambroise Vollard, Paris.
This is the 9th plate in La Suite Vollard, Picasso’s most important series of etchings, and was realised on 29th November 1934.
With the Henri Petiet number “376” in the lower left corner.
Note: The Suite Vollard, created between 1930 and 1937, was named after its publisher, the French art dealer and critic Ambroise Vollard. Picasso and Vollard shared a close working relationship up until 1910; however, after this date Vollard was no longer Picasso’s dealer though the two continued to collaborate on publishing projects. In 1930, Vollard, encouraged by the success of two earlier ventures, ambitiously commissioned 100 plates from Picasso and by 1937 the plates were completed and given to master printer Roger Lacourière to print. The entire edition comprises 3 copies on parchment, 50 copies on larger format Montval paper (50 x 38 cm.) and 250 on smaller format Montval paper 44.5 x 34 cm.). Tragically, Ambroise Vollard died in a car crash on 22 July 1939 leaving the project temporarily suspended, until a greater part of the edition was purchased by the print dealer Henri Marie Petiet. After World War II, Petiet engaged Picasso to sign a certain number of sets, and this continued up until 1969 but ceased with the publication of the 347 Series. Hence, a large number of the prints from the edition of 250 remain unsigned.

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
