In the aftermath of the Second World War Picasso joined the communist party and was active in
promoting its activities through his art. The Newspaper “Le Patriot” was a supporter of this ideology and
Picasso made a number of lithographs and Linocuts which were published by this organisation amongst
which was our work - the Old King. This was sold to raise finds for the communist party.
