Picasso Style Dove

Can't tell for sure if print or original painting.
Any idea if the image is a after Picasso or just inspired by him?
Thanks

 

Definitely his style and form of pencil work. Maybe a tad overdone.
He was prone to scribbling his name on also.

Someone else will help whether print, photo (doubt it) or maybe original, but, I believe apres.

 

Took it out of the frame. Still cannot tell if print or not.
The sheet is laid over so I can't see the back.
The image looks like variation of Hands Entwined



but on mine the hands look to me kind of sloppy executed. And the lines also does not look quite right.

 

Well, Kard, I gave it my best. I looked at similar drawings (reportedly authenticated) that showed a real array of his hands/dove(s)... some well-drawn, some very sloppy-looking, many varieties of dove heads and feet and so on. As far as I would be able to guess... it could be Picasso; it could be my nephew! I do love it, though. Good luck!

 

Even if Picasso, his unsigned pieces are problem. His children are not very reluctant authenticating his works. And they are the only one who can do it.

 

" His children are not very reluctant authenticating his works" Do I hear you correctly? NOT RELUCTANT TO AUTHENTICATE? Does that mean they are very willing to do so? Or am I misreading?

I had not thought hands of those swirls. That is why I thought overdone.

Perhaps he was thinking, not original, but ........................................,

"If you truly love her, let her go. If she truly loves you, she will return.

If she doesn't return, hunt her down and shoot her."

Hands all around her might mean reluctance to free her.

But if you want my bet, it's not Picasso, but a talented student.

 

I meant reluctant, without the 'not', sorry.

 

they will do it for free just send them some pics of it mail only it takes awhile tho http://www.picasso-authentification.fr/?lang=en

 

Thanks for the link.
I am starting to think more and more that it is not Picasso. One of the reasons is that the lines are done with one marker and gone over with another. I think Picasso would have done it at one go.

 

I have the biggest Picasso puzzle ever on my hands

 

he usually signs and dated his stuff

 

He signed only pieces intended to be sold.

 

yup ,and that's why we need the experts to many if's and's and but's

 

I am having a second thought about the lines. The dark brown looks like marker but the lighter ones more like paint applied with a brush as their width varies.
I wonder why the two medium. Maybe the marker was for outlining. But if the artist was unexperienced and could not draw it at one go, would not it be wiser first to sketch with pencil and then go over with the pen. Unless, they way it was done was a desired effect?

 

only the experts can tell you , In my opinion it does look like a Picasso enthusiast (to sloppy ) . I also belong to the Picasso club, http://www.pablopicassoclub.com/, post it there and see what they think. although i had a lot of mixed emotions about mine, yours should be simpler , lol

 

Already posted there. Members think it is not Picasso. He would not go over the same line:

 

I may send one off to his children. But not sure I can meet all their requirements. 37 different methods of copying, including a disc and 13 variations of transparencies. Ever search Picasso Mother and Child? I think there are over 50 done at various times. That's what I would like verified. It is claimed to be a serigraph I bought about 40 years ago.

As for DOVES it seems to be less but similar.

 

There are markers that have a brush-like tip that can be used to create both harder and softer lines. It's possible that's what was used here.

 

that is correct notice it's sort of sloppy but precise

 

lines don't go beyond where they are supposed to
