Etching on Montval paper with Picasso watermark, signed in pencil, from the edition of 260 (there was also an edition of 50 with wide margins). Published/printed by Vollard/Lacourière, Paris, 1939. From La Suite Vollard. Literature: Bloch 206, Baer 404. Plate 11 x 7 3/4in (27.9 x 19.7cm) Sheet 17 1/2 x 13 1/4in (44.5 x 33.7cm). Femme assise et Femme de Dos, plate 78 from La Suite Vollard (1934), is a refined etching by Pablo Picasso, printed in 1939 as part of a landmark series commissioned by art dealer Ambroise Vollard. Executed on Montval paper with the artist’s watermark and hand-signed, this work explores classical themes of the nude through the lens of modern abstraction. Two women—one seated, one standing—are rendered in delicate linear contour, stripped of unnecessary detail. The female figure’s profile is gently interrupted by a swirl of looping lines where her brain might be, hinting at Picasso’s interest in psychology and internal worlds. Minimal and intimate, the piece balances elegance and introspection within its spare composition.

What is Surrealism?
Artwork by Rene Magritte

What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
