Javier Vilato (Spanish, 1921-2000). Lithograph on paper titled "Cubist Maternity" depicting an abstract scene of mother and a child. Pencil signed along the lower right; editioned 3/140 along the lower left.

Javier Vilato, also known as a nephew and close companion of Pablo Picasso, is a Spanish artist born. In the beginning of his artistic career, Vilato experimented with printmaking, a technique that, over the years, became as important to him as painting. He worked on numerous limited illustrated editions of authors such as Federico Garcia Lorca, Claude Roy, Andree Chedid and Antonio Porchia. His work has been exhibited and housed at numerous international museums in Spain, Switzerland, Mexico, France, Italy, England and Sweden. At the end of the 1960s Javier Vilato was recognized as a major Paris engraver and invited to join the Societe des Peintres Graveurs Français.

Height: 25 1/2 in x width: 19 3/4 in.
