I asked if there was a catalog of the house contents and the guide showed me the meticulous notes you keep in each room. It would be great if the Conservancy could publish a catalog for purchase highlighting the notable objets and art.

The Picasso you saw in Fallingwater’s Guest House is “genuine”. There is also one in the Master Bedroom.

The one in the Guest House is Le Peintre et son Modele (The Artist and his Model), a signed intaglio print. Picasso produced a huge body of work in the late 1950s and early 1960s. “The Artist and his Model” was one of many series he worked on in 1963. Early in that year, he carried out dozens of oil paintings of the subject and at years end, he produced a number of prints of the same theme, including this one. The Smoker, located in the main house was produced during the same period of Picasso’s activity
