Picasso and Members of His Family

From the original Art on Stamps archive

The critics of art distinguish between several periods Picasso's creative activity, usually named The Blue Period, The Pink Period, The Period of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, then The Analytic Cubism, followed by The Synthetic Cubism, etc. Tip : please point on the stamps with the mouse index for supplementary information.

I have chosen only one aspect of his prolific activity, which I have called The Human Dimension.

By The Human Dimension I understand works realized by human beings for other human beings.

A good test is to try to answer the question "what is it, what is represented here?" and to have a good chance to find the answer just by looking attentively at that work of art.

I hope that you will like the exposed works, where we can see the artist expressing himself in something I would call "the human registry", as opposed to his later works.
