Godet — with an accompanying insert essay by Paul Éluard. Produced in Paris during the German Occupation, Picasso's transformed, interpenetrating figures follow dream logic rather than anatomical convention, resulting in images that are simultaneously portraits and formal experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated during the German Occupation of France, the work belongs to an important period in Picasso's career and reflects the experimental approach to form and figure that characterised much of his work during the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAbout the Zincograph Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZincography is a printmaking process in which an image is drawn or transferred onto a zinc plate, which is then treated to create the printing surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe technique is closely related to lithography and allows an artist to reproduce fine lines, tonal variation and expressive marks with considerable detail.
