DESCRIPTION:
|
This classic Blue Period nude was drawn in 1902 when Picasso was in Barcelona. It is closely related to Picasso's early masterpiece, Blue Nude and according to John Richardson 'Gauguin likewise opened Picasso's eyes to the expressive possibilities of backs. The pose of the so-called Blue Nude is one that occurs time and again in Tahitian Gauguins.'
