This print was given to me framed by my father when I moved into my first house. He got it from my great aunt who cleaned houses for a living. She cleaned the home of Russell Bufalino in the 80s. The story goes that when he got convicted he told her to take the Picasso because he had to let her go so sudden. I'm not sure how true this is because it happen before I was born. There is some information on the back but right now I'm storing it back at my parents house. Once I'm back I'm going to post the info is on the back. Does anyone know any information on this particular work of his being printed? I think it is from the 60's but I'm not 100% positive.

It was a commission for the sesquarcenntenial celebrarion of the publication of Don Quixote (1955). The original's whereabouts are debated but it's unlikely this is the original which is believed to be in color.

well he said it was a print, so, if the original work was a print it could easy be from the original run.

The original print run was as a magazine cover, after which it became famous. Hard to evaluate if it's worth anything without taking it to an expert.

Unless it's signed by hand, it's worth the paper it's printed on. There are literally millions of versions of this in the world.

What are you talking about this is a really lovely rendition of Don Quixote.
It's visually appealing and the child-like style only doubles down on the theme.

How does that disprove anything? Because his father himself was in the painting? You know you can add yourself in your painting right? It would only add to the narrative of making it look like his son could make a realistic painting.

Yes, everything up to when he started with cubism, his father did most of the work on the paintings.

Wait, so you say that his "Blue", "Red" and even "African" periods aren't his?

But look at this painting from 1917 after his Cubism period - don't you see the resemblance between this one and his early works that you say are supposedly his father's?

I don't deny that Pablo knew how to paint realistically at a later age, but I don't believe in Pablo as a child prodigy while his father was still alive.

You got any theory, source or comparison to prove your point anon?

>>2996575
I actually got this theory way back from >>>/ic/ itself. I've never delved into it further. If you at the later paintings of his father and early paintings of Pablo though, it's a whole lot similar than his later paintings. Sure, it could be that he imitated his father, but I think it was his fathers hand itself that did most of it.

But if you look at his earlier and later works, they don't look like they were made by 2 different persons.

Also look at his father's paintings, it's different style, not to mention that he seems to be more interested in pigeons than portraits.
