Lithographic illustration by Pablo Picasso from the art book ‘le Visage de la Paix’ (the Face of Peace). The book was made with illustrations by Picasso and poems by Paul Eluard and published by Mourlot in 1951.

The piece states:

“Nous fuirons le repos nous fuirons le sommeil
Nous prendrons de vitesse l’aube et le printemps
Et nous préparerons des jours et des saisons
À la mesure de nos rêves.”,

which translates to:

“We will flee from rest, we will flee from sleep
We will outrun the dawn and the spring
And we will create days and seasons
In the measure of our dreams.”

Pablo Picasso is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and is known for co-founding the Cubist movement. His works often dealt with themes such as love, death, war, and sexuality, and his art was heavily influenced by his personal life and relationships. He had many romantic relationships and marriages throughout his life, and his relationships with women were often the subject of his work.

The piece is framed with an antique frame and with light rosy passepartout.
