The wide variety of possibilities deriving from the various printing processes enab- les Picasso to live to the full his propensity to experiment, thereby causing lithogra- phy to gain a particular status. Although engravings dominate his voluminous graphic oeuvre, lithography offers him a most crucial advantage: “the possibility to capture phases of work on which he can continue to work later on”. With regard to the paintings “Guernica” (1937) and “The Morgue” (1945), he took photographs of the various stages of their creation. Litho- graphy permitted him to preserve each individual state of the work intact in spite of its further artistic transformation (as a duplicate).” (cit. Erich Franz, in: Exhibition Catalogue Münster, 2000, p. 10). The following two lithographs „Inès et son enfant“ (“Inès and her child”), made in 1947, convey this unique quality of the lithograph and show in a striking way “how Picasso uses every possibility in order to do justice to his artistic perception and 3612 way of working, in order to let the work de- velop, to review its creation, to transform 3613* it and, sometimes, very seldom, to destroy PICASSO, PABLO it.” (cit.: Hachmeister, Heiner (ed.): Pablo (Málaga 1881 - 1973 Mougins) Picasso.
