Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

- Pablo Picasso

The hundred engravings entitled Suite Vollard, are the result of the collaboration between Pablo Picasso and the dealer Ambroise Vollard. The coppers, made between 1930 and 1937 do not follow any logical sequence of images and are rather the result of chance. Picasso’s loves, the model and the sculptor, nudity, portraiture and different mythological themes appear in this series where not only the topics but also the style and technique provides a key insight into the artist’s creative universe at a time (the 1930s), when he was at the height of his artistic production.

Background : Pablo Picasso (Malaga, Spain, 1881- Mougins, France, 1973) was commissioned between September 13, 1930 and March 1937, by the art dealer and editor Ambroise Vollard, to create one hundred copper etchings which are now known as the Suite Vollard.

In the 1920s, Picasso delved deeply into the search for new experiences and evolved in his etching technique. But, why is a series of etchings by Picasso known under the name of an art dealer? And more importantly, who was Vollard?
