Fine art by Pablo Picasso This is an artwork by Pablo Picasso titled
Fumeur à la cigarette verte (Smoker with Green Cigarette), created in 1964. It is a color aquatint and etching on paper. This piece is part of a series of works Picasso created in the 1960s featuring smokers. The use of smoking in these works is believed to be a reflection of the artist's own life, as he was a lifelong smoker who had to give up the habit after a surgery in 1965. The series can be interpreted as a farewell to a cherished ritual and a contemplation of aging and the passage of life. |
