Pablo Picasso lithograph of Dove 1969



I am not a huge Picasso fan, but i do like this print. This print is very simple but very powerful at the same time. There is not a whole lot going on as it is an image of just one dove standing. There is no real motion to the image but yet it has a good eye drawing appeal to it. The dove contrasts very well against the black background and has a lot of detail, more than I am used to seeing in one of his pieces. The feathers and the head clearly make out that this is a dove and I think that is what I like most about it. It is very simple and satisfying.
