New Picasso Etchings Discovered


Pablo Picasso from Vingt Poèmes de Góngora (1947).
Thirteen etchings created by Pablo Picasso were discovered earlier this year by Professor Andrés Soria while leafing through the pages of an illustrated edition of a book of poems by the Spanish poet Luis de Góngora, which was bought by Spain’s National Library a decade ago.

The aquatints were jammed into the pages of the book, which was owned by the artist’s lover and muse, Dora Maar. It seems that Picasso was so disgusted with the illustrations created by Ignacio González de la Serna that he tore them out and inserted artist’s proofs of his own work.
