This visual essay on the difference between physical and emotional closeness represents Picasso's first serious engagement with printmaking, an activity that would become a life-long passion. Impressions from the first edition have rich shadows, but impressions from the second edition-shown here-were printed more starkly, completely stripping the image of any romantic warmth. Spain, Europe
