The official Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio record identifies Still Life Under a Lamp as a Pablo Picasso artwork, dated Mougins, March 19, 1962, in Color linocut on wove paper. This print was created using a variation of the linocut technique that Picasso developed himself. He did so because he found the traditional process—which involves carefully lining up and printing a different linoleum block for each color—too laborious. Instead, the artist cut away areas of a single block and reprinted each color as he went. Although this method removed the need for careful alignment, it presented its own challenges: a single mistake could ruin the entire edition.
Still Life Under a Lamp is grouped here under Late Period for gallery navigation based on the date published by Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio. This period label is interpretive context, not a replacement for the cited primary object record. The holding collection is documented by the cited institutional source.
