Notes:
this work was adapted from the 1901 oil on canvas, using color etching and aquatint. Printed in 1930 by Villon and published by Bernheim-Jeune,
Infused with rich tones of blues, greens, creams, browns and red, Picasso uses both form and color to accentuate the tender exchange of affection between mother and child with a universal appeal. One in a series of Blue Period works created between 1901 and 1903, this work employs remarkable aquatint technique, which, united with subject matter combines to create a meditative and masterful lamentation on motherhood.
