Pablo Picasso: pleasure combined with a safe investment

‍

“His greatness is explained by his infinite capacity to innovate, to get ahead of his contemporaries while interacting with the painting of the old masters. From breaks to ruptures, the artist has constantly renewed the relationship between art and reality and history.

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937) are among the most important works of the century. Picasso also embodies a myth: the bohemian artist, the minotaur, the demiurge. Becoming a star during his lifetime and dying at the age of 91, Picasso was crowned with international fame. For all these reasons, he is commonly referred to as a genius.” (Claire Maingnon, Fine Arts Journal)

Buying a Pablo Picasso drawing allows you to share a great emotion on a daily basis while investing in a safe bet. The artist's rating is constantly growing due to his global reputation and a rare offer in the face of international demand.

Diversify your portfolio and increase your wealth!

Investing in art is one of the best ways to diversify your portfolio.

It has a number of advantages:

- Heritage transmission: bequeathing a work of art can shelter the people you care about

- Not taxable from a tax point of view: works of art are not mentioned on your wealth tax return

- In case of resale of a work of art, you will only have to pay a flat tax of 6.5%, the lowest tax rate

- The value of the work of art is not declarative in your assets and does not fall within the taxable assets

- The art market, a market much less sensitive to economic crises than the stock market or real estate market

Discover a selection of works from our exhibition

On the occasion of the opening of its new space in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso, Galerie AB - Agnès Aittouares offers you an exhibition of drawings made between 1942 and 1971.

This collection has grown over thirty years of discoveries and acquisitions from collectors and art dealers. It highlights the creative process and the genius of Pablo Picasso, who, through the force of a few lines, reveals the essential. All his favorite subjects are covered: mythology, peace, bullfighting, the musketeer, the painter and his model,...

The artist plunges us into his intimate life through drawings sent to his friends or portraits of loved ones such as that of Yvette Thomas, the thoughtful daughter of Christian Zervos, or of the architect Carlo Scarpa, treated with humor, one shoe on her head.

“PICASSO. The strength of the line” is accompanied by a catalog.

‍

“Picasso's generosity is expressed through work, a work in the measure of a lifetime that strives to see everything, to project on the screen of human history everything that he can understand, admit or transform, figure and transfigure. There is only one way of drawing, and that is movement, movement of the mind and the hand. Variety is certainly the predominant quality of his work. [...]”

Paul Eluard, Picasso. Drawings, 1952

This pastel drawing, which is particularly complete and detailed, contrasts with the more spontaneous line in other works drawn by Picasso. This particular attention probably evokes an intimate relationship with Madame Styptane, a perfumer in Mougins, to whom the painter offers this eternal bouquet of flowers.

With great freedom, Picasso uses the theme of the “painter and his model” here. These two profiles of men, whose disproportions question the eye, forcefully reveal the two sides of love: tenderness in the upper part and sexuality in the lower part. Picasso delivers an intimate and disturbing face-to-face between the artist and his muse, but also between the man and his wife, Jaqueline. Having become his only passion and inspiration, she brings him the youth and stability necessary for his creative genius.

In June 1966, Pablo Picasso was admitted to the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, where he received the care of Mademoiselle Lassalle, a charming nurse. This bearded character with a lively and expressive look is probably a representation of the artist as he sees himself. This portrait reveals the humor and the affection that Picasso showed around him, but also his commitment to his art, in all circumstances.

Throughout his career, Pablo Picasso explored the theme of the flute player. This drawing, made between August 31 and September 1, 1971, is preparatory to oil on canvas Man with Flute and Child. The change of date in the upper left part indicates that Picasso exceptionally worked on this drawing for two days in a row, paying particular attention to it. This whimsical authorship highlights the cubist elements that will be used on the canvas and makes it possible to study the artist's creative process. Two years before his death, Picasso seemed to reflect on the figure of the father but also on that of model for the new generation of artists.
