Pablo Picasso's Le Homard (The Lobster), c. 1945 bold, bright still life brings to mind Picasso’s signature use of color to enhance and enliven any subject from the still life genre.  The cool, inviting tones of blues and violets are accented further with bright oranges and yellows.  They are further offset by the warm tones of the reds and maroons that help bring the still life Le Homard to life.

Created in 1945, this color aquatint is hand-signed by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered from the edition of 100 in pencil in the lower left margin.
