Abstract:
Reproduction of La Vie by Pablo Picasso. Description from Wikipedia “La Vie (The Life) was painted in Barcelona in May 1903. It portrays two pairs of people, a naked couple confronting a mother bearing a child in her arms. In the background of the room, apparently a studio, there are two paintings within the painting, the upper one showing a crouching and embracing nude couple, the lower one showing a lonesome crouching nude person very similar to Sorrow by Vincent van Gogh” On the lower right corner is a United States postage stamp for 8 cents. The text on the stamp reads “Prevent drug abuse” and shows a woman with long hair sitting on the ground with her head in her arms. The postcard is stamped, Dallas, 1971, First day of issue.
