These famous plates-etchings, dry points and combined techniques, created by Picasso between 1930 and 1937, represent one of the highlights of the artist’s career. Ambroise Vollard, publisher of the Suite, was a prominent twentieth century art dealer and publisher. Prior to World War I, his Paris gallery was the central hub for artists and collectors who were drawn there by his extraordinary inventory of paintings, including works by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Picasso and Vollard shared a close working relationship until 1910, when the dealer found the painter’s Cubist style difficult to accept. But for the preceding decade, Vollard served as Picasso’s primary dealer and, despite his misgivings about Cubism, the two continued to collaborate on publishing projects after 1910. Gen.
