Price History
Description
A reproduction of one of many studies Picasso made as part of his commitment to peace after the end of the Second World War and Korean Wars. Born in Malaga, Spain in 1881, Pablo Picasso is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of his time. With fellow painter Georges Braque, he created Cubism. Picasso's prolific and renowned artworks, which he created for nearly 80 of his 91 years, helped define modern art in the 20th century.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Picasso print for its minimalist yet evocative style, making it a versatile piece that can bring a sophisticated touch to various interiors. It works particularly well in modern, contemporary spaces or as a statement piece in a neutral-toned room, adding depth without overwhelming the decor. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple, sleek furniture and keeping surrounding accessories minimal to let the artwork stand out. It also looks great hung at eye level above a sofa or console table, creating an elegant focal point. Given its understated frame, it can seamlessly integrate into both minimalist and eclectic schemes, making it a timeless addition to your wall art collection.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
