ThePicasso Portraits exhibition was held at the National Portrait Gallery in London from October 6, 2016, to February 5, 2017. It featured over 75 portraits by Pablo Picasso, spanning various periods and styles of his career. The exhibition included works from both public and private collections, showcasing masterpieces alongside pieces never before seen in the UK. In response to visiting the show I made a little Pyecasso painting called 'Garcon avec une Fleur le meme Couleur comme son Chapeau.'
50 screenprints were made of my painting (30cm wide, 40cm high). I recently found I had 12 left and decided to add a little to each of the remaining prints so each one was ever so slightly different.
The last 12 prints are available for £50 each (this price dows not include postage and packaging). Let me know if you'd like one by e-mailing: harry_pye@hotmail.com
