Many in his position might have been tempted to set their paint brushes aside and retire quietly into an easy life in the hillsides overlooking the Cote d’Azur.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYet his desire to innovate, particularly with linocut and lithographic printing processes he honed with the help of his master printmaker Hidalgo Arnera, is a testament to his ability to continually reinvent himself, with the famed Imprimerie Arnera print studio in Vallauris.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlthough Picasso had been involved with printmaking as early as 1904, Picasso did not make it a focus of his work until the winter of 1945 when he worked alongside Arnera.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49719659167983,"sku":null,"price":76500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/8062\/8975\/files\/w0cc1x7ocqqr1pe8fpwx.jpg?v=1781114489","url":"https:\/\/art-leaders-gallery.myshopify.com\/products\/bacchanale-flutiste-et-danseure-aux-cymbales-bacchanal-flutist-and-dancers-with-cymbals-by-pablo-picasso-1881-1973","provider":"Art Leaders Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
