Luis de Góngora y Argote (1561–1627), the celebrated Spanish Baroque poet whose dense, ornate, and formally daring verse made him one of the most important and controversial figures in the history of Spanish literature, held a particular significance for Picasso as a fellow Spaniard and as a representative of the same tradition of linguistic and formal audacity that runs through Picasso's own visual practice. In Vingt Poèmes de Góngora, Picasso's etched and aquatinted compositions enter into direct dialogue with Góngora's verse, the two creative voices — separated by more than three centuries but united by a shared origin and a shared appetite for formal invention — combining within a single, unified object of exceptional literary and visual significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe watermarked Góngora paper and the folded, as-issued presentation are details of considerable bibliographic importance, confirming the work's status as an original component of the complete illustrated book rather than a later extraction, and preserving the object in the precise physical state in which it was originally conceived and distributed. Published by Les Grands Peintres Modernes et le Livre — a publishing house dedicated specifically to the collaboration between major modern painters and significant literary texts — this work occupies a central place within the great tradition of the artist's illustrated book that flourished in France throughout the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe work is in good condition, consistent with its as-issued folded state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✔ Careful and secure worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/pablo-picasso-collection-cubism-masterpieces-and-modern-art-icon?_pos=2\u0026amp;_psq=picasso\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\" title=\"picasso collection\"\u003e➡️ See all available Pablo Picasso works\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1016\" data-start=\"1013\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any inquiries\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"137\" data-end=\"147\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"140\" data-end=\"147\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original work by Pablo Picasso?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — two authentic etchings and aquatint plates with attached text by Luis de Góngora, from the edition of 250, on wove paper watermarked \"Góngora,\" published by Les Grands Peintres Modernes et le Livre, Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho was Luis de Góngora?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuis de Góngora y Argote (1561–1627) was one of the most important and formally daring poets of the Spanish Baroque, whose dense and ornate verse held particular significance for Picasso as a fellow Spaniard sharing a tradition of linguistic and artistic invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the work presented folded?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work is presented folded, as originally issued — preserving its precise original bibliographic state as a component of the complete illustrated book, a detail of considerable importance to collectors and confirming its authenticity as an original issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 250, with an additional 25 hors commerce copies produced in Roman numerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSheet, unfolded: 38.1 × 55.9 cm (15 × 22 in) — Sheet, folded: 38.1 × 27.9 cm (15 × 11 in).
