The book Picasso The Engraver by Brigitte Baer gives the reader rare insight into the creative process of the artist. It is inspiring for any printmaker working with intaglio to see the lengths Picasso went to in order to flesh out his imagery. State after state the plate is etched, aquatinted, burnished, and scraped with as many as 20 or 30 states existing between the initial and final print.
For more insight into Picasso's creative process see the film, The Mystery Of Picasso (1956):
