PABLO PICASSO
FROM ‘LA SUITE DES
SALTIMBANQUES’ SERIE
S
1904
Created between his Blue and Rose periods,
when the artist also produced the Gallery’s
La Belle
Hollandaise
1905, these first attempts at printmaking
reveal Picasso’s intimate observations of the fringe
dwellers in Montmartre, Paris — a community he
lived among and identified with closely at this
pivotal time in his career.

2012
Calling on the Persian tradition of mirror mosaics,
Ansarinia intricately splices two newspaper articles
on the same subject. The works in this series have
a sense of order and symmetry, while the distortion
of the text alludes to information being distorted
by rumour and censorship.
