Label TextLucien Clergue began making photographs in 1949, when he was fifteen years old. He first met Pablo Picasso in 1953 when he had the moxie to approach the most famous artist in Spain and France, and perhaps the entire world, with his portfolio of photographs. Picasso was impressed, and perhaps flattered, with Clergue’s images of children dressed as harlequins; images that so closely mimicked the master’s work from the early 20th century. Asking to see more of the young photographer’s work, Clerque spent the next several years preparing a portfolio. After their second meeting, the two men became close friends and Clerque began photographing Picasso extensively.
