This is a 2nd state B(a) impression with cream and brown coloring printed on Arches papCondition: This work is in good condition, a bold impression with bright and vivid color throughout  Description:This fascinating rendition of the male figure in astounding form serves as the complement to Picasso’s alternate linocut from the same series, Standing Female Nude.  Our Man with a Stick, however, has been presented in immaculate and Herculean stature with his resounding body mass leaning towards us in captivating gesture.  He is transfixed with an object in the foreground as Picasso has cleverly altered the size and shape of his forearm to appear larger than the rest of his body.  The hero is thus centered in the background, but clearly encouraging a dialogue and relationship with his audience that is just beyond the limits of the frame.  It is a piece that provokes movement and momentum; a grand work that exemplifies Picasso’s venture into the print medium. Created in 1963, this work was published by Edition Galerie Louise Leiris out of the signed and numbered edition of 50 on Vélin d’Arches paper.  Hand signed by Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered 48/50 in pencil in the lower left margin. This work is from the 2nd state impression featuring the crème and brown coloration throughout.  It is from the first edition of this printed work featuring an additional date above the original (63.1.15) in dark brown: “63.1.18.” Catalogue Raisonné & COA:It is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work):    1.
