很少有名字可以像巴勃罗·毕加索（Pablo Picasso）成为现代艺术的代名词，为了纪念毕加索逝世50周年，法国奢侈品制造商都彭近期发布了毕加索画作为主题的限量版系列配饰，包括两款雪茄打火机，以及雪茄盒、雪茄烟灰缸等一系列配饰的产品。

都彭公司和毕加索之间的联系可以追溯到几十年前。1960年代初，毕加索在都彭的产品上进行了一些艺术创作。他送给儿子、儿媳的两个都彭打火机，在打火机上做了一些加工，其中一个打火机上雕刻了Harlequin，另一个雕刻了Pierrot，这两个人物形象都是意大利戏剧早期的角色。

都彭早些年多次推出过毕加索画作主题的产品。1998年，都彭第一次使用了毕加索的画作作为产品设计主题。2017年，都彭公司发布了毕加索在1965年的一件流行作品“女性轮廓”系列。2018年，都彭公司推出了“鸽子”系列，这是毕加索在1949年的鸽子素描作品，通常被视为和平的象征。

这一次，都彭公司选择了毕加索的长期伴侣、最后一任妻子杰奎琳·罗克（Jacqueline Roque）的刻画，这是毕加索1962年的著名作品《戴草帽的杰奎琳肖像》（Portrait of Jacqueline in a Straw Hat）。

第一款打火机是都彭公司著名的2号系列，也称为Ligne 2，白色漆面，用金属钯作为打火机的基础材料，可调节的双喷头，售价是1895美元。另一款打火机比较轻薄，名为Slimmy，白色，镀铬，售价375美元。打火机上都印着毕加索签名的画作的复制品。

除了打火机，2023年毕加索作品系列的产品还包括了多功能笔、钥匙圈、雪茄盒、雪茄烟灰缸、苹果手机壳、白色皮革手提包等，这些作品都突出了毕加索的这幅杰奎琳肖像画作。只有打火机可以在美国买到，如果毕加索的爱好者想买其他产品，必须去法国购买了。

Few names are as synonymous with the Modern Art period as Pablo Picasso. In tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Spanish artist’s passing, luxury accessories manufacturer S.T. Dupont is releasing a limited-edition Pablo Picasso collection headlined by two lighters and an array of accessories all depicting his famous 1962 work, “Portrait of Jacqueline in a Straw Hat.”

The connection between the French manufacturer and the heralded artist goes back several decades. According to S.T. Dupont, in the early ’60s Picasso used actual S.T. Dupont products to create new works of art. The artist even gifted his son and daughter-in-law two Dupont lighters that he embellished: one of which featured an engraved Harlequin, the other a Pierrot, both characters originating from the early form of Italian theater known as commedia dell’arte. 

This isn’t the first time that S.T. Dupont has put some of Picasso’s art on its accessories. The French company first honored Picasso with a collection back in 1998, and in recent years, has revisited his works. In 2017, S.T. Dupont released the “Profil de Femme” collection featuring a popular Picasso piece from 1965, then continued in 2018 with the “Dove” collection, which depicted Picasso’s famous 1949 sketch of a dove, commonly referenced as a symbol for peace. 

This year, S.T. Dupont looked to Picasso’s portrayal of his longtime companion, muse and eventual wife, Jacqueline Roque. One of his more renowned pieces, “Portrait of Jacqueline in a Straw Hat” is reproduced in miniature on the current collection.

The first lighter, part of S.T. Dupont’s vaunted Line 2 series (also referred to as Ligne 2), is made with a palladium base clad in white lacquer with a soft, adjustable double flame. It has a suggested retail price of $1,895. Its counterpart is less expensive and thinner, hence its name “Slimmy.” This chrome lighter, also finished in white lacquer, is a lightweight, easy-to-use torch that retails for $375. Both lighters have a reproduction of Picasso's signature on the back.

In addition to the lighters, the complete 2023 Picasso set includes multifunction pens, a key ring, cigar case, ashtray, iPhone case, white leather tote bag and a calfskin clutch bag, all featuring the famous painting. Only the lighters, however, are available in the U.S. Picasso devotees will have to go to France if they want the rest of the collection.
