Picasso began this series with the brown and black version. Several years later he revisited the linoleum block for further experimentation. He devised a novel technique in which he printed an example in white ink, brushed black ink over it, and finally rinsed the sheet under a bathroom shower.
Gallery label from Picasso: Variations and Themes, March 28–September 30, 2010.
