Exemplar 7/50. - Papier im ehemaligen Passepartout-Ausschnitt gleichmäßig leicht gebräunt, an den Büttenkanten mit schmalem Lichtrand. Mourlot 40; Bloch 396 Provenienz In den 1950er Jahren in Paris im Handel erworben; seitdem in Familienbesitz Literatur Ernst-Gerhard Güse, Die Lithographien Pablo Picassos, in: Pablo Picasso. Die Lithographien, Ausst. Kat. Kunsthalle Bremen u.a., Stuttgart 1988, S. 11-18 An einem einzigen Tag, dem 14. Juni 1946, schuf Picasso eine berühmt gewordene Folge von 10 grossformatigen Lithographien, die jeweils seine Lebensgefährtin Françoise Gilot en face wiedergeben (Mourlot 38-47; Bloch 396-403). 1943 hatte er die junge Malerin kennengelernt, seit 1945 sind ihre Gesichtszüge in lithographischen Arbeiten Picassos präsent. Alle zehn Porträts entstanden auf Lithopapier und wurden auf Stein abgeklatscht. Dabei wurde jeweils derselbe Stein verwendet, er wurde also für jede Lithographie neu abgeschliffen (siehe dazu Güse, a.a.O.). Françoise Gilot erinnerte sich an die vorangegangenen Porträtzeichnungen: "Pablo stand mit einem gespannten und entrückten Gesichtsausdruck zwei bis drei Meter von mir entfernt. Er ließ mich nicht eine Sekunde aus den Augen. Er rührte seinen Zeichenblock nicht an und hatte noch nicht einmal einen Bleistift in der Hand. Schließlich sagte er: 'Ich sehe nun, was ich tun muß.' [...] Am nächsten Tag begann Pablo aus dem Gedächtnis eine Reihe von Zeichnungen von mir in dieser Stellung. Dann entstand eine Folge von elf Lithographien meines Kopfes [die 10 Lithographien vom 14. Juni sowie die einen Tag später geschaffene Lithographie "Françoise en soleil"]. Auf jeder brachte er ein winziges Muttermal unter meinem linken Auge an, meine rechte Augenbraue zeichnete er in Form eines Zirkumflexes." (zit. nach: Françoise Gilot/Carlton Lake, Leben mit Picasso, München 1965, S. 113). Pablo Picasso Françoise Lithograph on wove paper with watermark "Arches". 59.4 x 48.7 cm (65.6 x 49.9 cm). Framed under glass. Signed and numbered. Proof 7/50. - The paper evenly slightly browned in former mat opening, to the deckle edges with narrow light-stain. Mourlot 40; Bloch 396 Provenance Acquired in the 1950s in the Parisian art trade; since then in family possession Literature Ernst-Gerhard Güse, Die Lithographien Pablo Picassos, in: Pablo Picasso. Die Lithographien, exhib.cat. Kunsthalle Bremen i.a., Stuttgart 1988, p. 11-18 In a single day, on 14 June 1946, Picasso created a series of 10 large-format lithographs that have become famous; each depicts his companion Françoise Gilot in full face (Mourlot 38-47; Bloch 396-403). He had met the young painter in 1943 and her features are present in lithographic works by Picasso from 1945 onwards. All ten portraits were created on lithographic paper and were transferred to the stone. In this process the same stone was used and was ground off anew for each lithograph (cf. Güse, op. cit.). Françoise Gilot recalled the preceding portrait drawings: “Pablo stood two to three metres away from me with a tensed and enraptured facial expression. He did not take his eyes off me for a second. He did not touch his sketchbook and did not even have a pencil in his hand yet. Finally he said: 'Now I see what I have to do.' [...] The next day Pablo began drawing a series of drawings of me in this pose from memory. Then a series of eleven lithographs of my head appeared [the 10 lithographs of 14 June as well as the lithograph 'Françoise en soleil', which was created one day later]. He added a tiny birthmark under my left eye to each of them, and he drew my right eyebrow in the form of a circumflex.” (cited in: Françoise Gilot/Carlton Lake, Leben mit Picasso, Munich 1965, p. 113).
