Description:
|
The erotic art of the twentieth century’s most famous painter is copious. Scenes of bodies entwined in love recur continually in the work of this artist who never abandoned the power of figuration. When Pablo Picasso executed this painting, he was ninety years old. (Source: Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; http://www.mmfa.qc.ca/)
