Picasso - Human Comedies

Honoré de Balzac's La Comédie Humaine can be considered one of the masterpieces of French literature. The literary oeuvre, written between 1830 and 1956, is composed of 137 interconnected works, ranging from novels to essays. The writer's aim was to comprehensively depict the society around him. Pablo Picasso was a great admirer of Balzac's writing, and in 1954 he began creating a series of illustrations based on the literary work, bringing the characters to life.

Pablo Picasso, born in Malaga in 1881 and died in Mougins in 1973, was one of the most important artists in the history of world art. After his initial figurative experimentation in the "Blue" and "Rose" periods, he founded Cubism with Georges Braque. Drawing on the work of Cézanne, Picasso definitively transcended the concept of phenomenon in art to arrive at that of noumenon, breaking down the subject and depicting it from multiple perspectives. He was an extremely multifaceted artist and produced an impressive body of work throughout his long career.
