Description:
Painted in Paris in 1929. In 1925 the Surrealist writer and poet André Breton declared Picasso as "one of ours" in his article Le Surréalisme et la peinture, published in Révolution surréaliste. Les Demoiselles was reproduced for the first time in Europe in the same issue. Yet Picasso exhibited Cubist works at the first Surrealist group exhibition in 1925; the concept of "psychic automatism in its pure state" defined in the Manifeste du surréalisme never appealed to him entirely. Surrealism revived Picasso's attraction to primitivism and eroticism. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
