1881 - 1973
Quatre femmes nues et tête sculptée / Femmes entre elles avec voyeur sculpté clin d´oeil au bain turc. 1934.
Etching.
Signed. Dated "Paris 10 mars XXXIV" in the printing plate. One off 260 copies from this state. On Montval laid paper (with watermark "Vollard"). 22.2 x 31.4 cm (8.7 x 12.3 in). Sheet: 34 x 44,7 cm (13,3 x 17,6 in).
Sheet 82 from "Suite Vollard". Published in Edition Vollard, Paris, in 1939. [JS].

• Sheet 82 of the famous “Suite Vollard” (1930-1937), Picasso's most famous series of prints.
• In the 100 sheets of the “Suite Vollard,” Picasso intensively explores his central theme of artist and model.
• Art and Eros: The special quality of these scenes lies in the tension between creative and erotic passion.
• Picasso, the love-addicted artist, appears here in the form of his alter ego, the love-hungry Zeus, the secret voyeur of the erotic scene in the form of a statue.
• Sheets from the “Suite Vollard” can now be found in international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
