He tirelessly investigated forms of expression with his pictorial vocabulary ranging from vivid naturalism to distorted abstraction, and his prolific output included painting, prints, drawings, ceramics and theatre sets. Endlessly curious, Picasso continually sought innovative creative avenues, experimenting with age-old printmaking processes (etching, lithography, linocut), each of which offered a distinct expressive opportunity of line, tone and mark-making. These graphic techniques, combined with Picasso's idiosyncratic motifs — mythological creatures, Spanish bullfighting scenes and portraits of lovers — resulted in an unparalleled body of printed works that could range from the spontaneously lyrical to the allegorically complex.
