Picasso was never one to follow the rules—in printmaking, he created his own. The British Museum’s “Picasso: The Master Printmaker” exhibition reveals how he transformed traditional print techniques into playgrounds for invention and expression.

With over a hundred works on display, each print shows Picasso’s mastery of etching, lithography, and linocut, offering an intimate look at his evolving style and endless curiosity. This collection captures the essence of Picasso as an innovator, pushing boundaries with every impression and inviting us into his creative process.
