Description

Original photogram collotype from Diurnes.

A suite of 30 black and white photogram collotypes, machine-numbered on verso, each in paper cover with printed caption.

Each of the 30 images is a collaborative work, Picasso s cut-ups interacting with Viller s photographs.

Picasso and Villers, fascinated by the richness of their place of residence, Provence, embarked on an intense creative process which would lead to the suite Diurnes.

A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.
