Pablo Picasso "La Chute d'lcare" Lithograph

Updated August 27, 2026

Pablo Picasso titled "La Chute d’Icare" ("The Fall of Icarus") lithograph, a subject rooted in classical mythology and reinterpreted through Picasso’s expressive modernist style. The composition presents a dramatic arrangement of figures with exaggerated, mask-like faces and a reclining form in the foreground, evoking both narrative tension and emotional complexity. The dense cross-hatching and layered line work create depth and movement, while the distorted features reflect Picasso’s exploration of human vulnerability and mythological themes. The reference to Icarus suggests themes of ambition, and consequence, rendered here with a striking psychological intensity. Signed in the lower margin and dated 1969, consistent with Picasso’s graphic works. Artist: After Pablo Picasso Title: "La Chute d’Icare" Date: 1969 (as inscribed) Medium: Lithograph Signature: Signed in lower margin Size: 7" x 10" Good vintage condition with light toning and minor handling wear.
