Around 1959, Editions Cercle d’Art published a facsimile of a sketchbook printed in small runs at Mourlot Studios, a famed lithographic print shop that specialized in artist collaborations. This limited edition gives us a new viewpoint on a well-known artist’s process, materials, and surroundings, and offering a brief look into the practice and studio of Pablo Picasso. The beautifully reproduced notebook is an unusual chance to observe the artist’s daily practice, a studio tour of his mind.
