Description & Technical information
Picasso met the artist and photographer André Villers in 1953. From this collaboration were created hundreds of photographies, cut out works- a technique dear to Picasso, between drawing and sculpture - montage and photographic transfer by Villers. Thirty images evoking thirty ephemeral people would be selected to be published in 1962 under the titled "Diurnes", accompanied by texts by the poet Jacques Prévert who invented the story.
Picasso drew the title "Diurnes" along with a face for the case that contains them.
