| My copy of Picasso's version N |
I think the second to last, this Version N, is my favorite. I love the fracturing of space and simplicity of color within the integrity of the scene. The floating teapot, highlighted in a triangle, the machine-like legs of the reclining figure and the winking belly button of the seated woman are all tongue-in-cheek-Picasso-playful.
It is on view at the
Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Wash U/St Louis.
The label says: "Here Delacroix's scene of imagined sexual invitation and passive femininity becomes one of female self-possession and confidence"
Do you agree?
