NotesIn 1963, Picasso decided that he needed a print publisher close to his house in the south of France at Mougins. In response, Aldo and Piero Crommelynck set up a studio nearby, where they helped him to create approximately 750 prints. Among these were illustrations for a version of Fernand's Le Cocu Magnifique (1968), and the Series 347 (1968), whose erotic images created a furor when they were exhibited simultaneously in Paris and Chicago. Even though the Art Institute of Chicago withheld 25 of the prints as "unfit for public consumption", it was deluged with complaints. Although the series have gained critical acceptance, they continues to generate controversy.
