Footnote
Note: The Vollard Suite of one hundred etchings was a significant artistic undertaking. Commissioned by the art dealer Ambrose Vollard, Picasso worked on the series over a period of seven years, from the initial commission in 1930 until 1937, though it then took the printer a further two years to complete the full printing. The suite reveals Picasso’s most significant personal preoccupations over this period of his life, as wider turmoil was unfolding across Europe.
