This linocut was created from my original sketch inspired by a recent visit to the Picasso Museum in Paris. The work on the wall is a portrait of Nusch Eluard, a French performer, model and artist. In addition to being the "muse" of artists and writers including Man Ray, Picasso and her husband Paul Eluard, she also created surrealist collages.
To make my art prints, my original sketch is transferred onto a block of lino which I cut out with special gouges. I hand pull each print on a press, giving it a slightly embossed texture.
Each linocut, printed one at a time, is a unique and original piece of art. Slight differences in each print are inherent in the process.
The print is sold unmounted and unframed but is shown here in a standard 40 cm x 50 cm frame.
