Description:
During the 1930s, the minotaur replaced the harlequin as a common motif in Picasso's work. His use of the minotaur came partly from his contact with the surrealists, who often used it as their symbol, and it appears in his Guernica. The minotaur and Picasso's mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter are heavily featured in his celebrated Vollard Suite of etchings. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
