  • All photos are digitized files of the original negatives, to which we hold the exclusive rights.
  • The people who appear with Pablo Picasso in the photos can also be found in the Index of friends and associates.
  • These include not only photos chosen for their aesthetic quality, but also pictures that are of particular interest for art historical reasons or other relevant content.
  • The photos are organized by year; for example, file Pic57xxxx is dated 1957. There is no chronological order within a given year, with the exception of processes – for example, the creation of an artwork.
  • We have attempted to identify the artworks by Picasso that are visible in the photos. The works are listed with their French titles and abbreviated reference sources. We have attempted to list at least one important source per artwork. The abbreviations are listed in the bibliography. By searching under “Artworks” in the “Extended search” field, it is possible to find the depicted works.
  • Many works have not yet been identified, but we are striving to fill in the gaps. If you cannot find a work using the “Extended search” function, this does not necessarily mean that it does not appear in any photographs.
  • It is often impossible to identify artworks due to the fact that they have been lost or destroyed. Furthermore, some artworks were unfinished or are not by Picasso. We welcome research inquiries and will be happy to provide assistance at any time.
