Pablo Picasso, 1960 In this image, the Minotaur is associated with the figure of Bacchus,God of wine and ecstasy, taking part in a bacchanal, or drunken revelryinvolving singing, dancing, libations and, in some accounts, sexualintercourses of a rather lustful nature. The sensual and, at the sametime, perverse aspect of the scene is wonderfully expressed in theloose etched lines, the bold curved lines, grinning face of the God andcontorted bodies and facial expressions of the women.Bacchus also represented the juice, the lifeblood element in nature,and his presence here alongside the Minotaur, drinking wine, remindsus both of the unnatural and monstrous circumstances of theMinotaur's birth and ensuing sacrifice to the monster of young menand women by his guilt-stricken father Minos, as well as of the Mithraicfestivities in Antiquity when a bull was sacrificed and feasted upon withwine to grant immortality to the followers of the cult.The scene also offers a nod to the ambient hyper-interpretativesurrealism of the period, where sexual desires and nightmare orgrotesque visions were celebrated, not without a certain dose ofhumour in Picasso's circle, as mirroring visions from the depths of theartists' minds.Of course, the Minotaur was a figure celebrated by the Surrealists,who embraced the supernatural monster's 'power [to breach] theboundaries of the irrational' as expressed by Brassaï. They in factnamed their main journal after the creature: Le Minotaure magazinewas published between 1933 and 1939, at the same time as Picasso'sdevelopment of the theme in the Suite Vollard, and he naturallycontributed illustrations to the magazine.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973)Minotaure aveugle guidé par une Fillette II, from La Suite Vollard, 1933 signed in penciletching, on Montval laid paper with Montgolfier watermark38.4 x 50.2cm (15 1/8 x 19 3/4in).This work is from the edition of 50, printed by Lacourière, published by Ambroise Vollard, Paris, 1939Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Estate of H.M Petiet, Paris.Acquired from the above by the current owner.LiteratureGeorges Bloch, Catalogue de l'oeuvre gravé et lithographié, Volume I, 1904-1967, Berne, 1968 (Bl.223). Geiser & Baer, Picasso Peintre-graveur, Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre gravé, Volume II, 1935-1945, Berne, 1986 (B.435.B.d).This work is perhaps one of the best known and most admired printsfrom the Suite Vollard. An etching of great complexity and intensity,Minotaure aveugle guidé par une Fillette II is the second of fourconsecutive prints dedicated to the subject in the suite. It was nodoubt an important scene for Picasso, one for which he showed anobsessive involvement as he also did many drawings of the subject.There have been many attempts to explain the symbolism of the workand it is generally acknowledged that it is Picasso presenting himselfas his alter-ego, the Minotaur. Rather than the usual overt sexualityand virility associated with the monster (as depicted in lots 7 & 12),the Minotaur here appears blind and vulnerable, in a dramatic nightsetting reminiscent in design to a scene from a Greek tragedy.The little girl guiding the creature bears the traits of Marie-Thérèse,Picasso's pregnant lover at the time to whom he had offered a dove,the bird of peace she is carrying here. Her appearance is innocentand sweet as she gently leads the blinded creature towards the gateat the left.Brigitte Baer has wondered whether the sailors in the background arean attempt at personifying traditional family principles of 19th centuryBarcelona, where she believes the scene could be set. Picasso hadvisited Barcelona with his then wife Olga and their son in Septemberand was perhaps experiencing conflicted feelings. He was obviouslytransgressing traditional marital values because of his affair with MarieThérèse, and the guilt intertwined with his amorous passion could wellhave blinded the Minotaur.Yet Marie-Thérèse seems to represent a haven of peacefulness andvoluptuous tranquillity in opposition to the bitterness felt in his unhappymarriage to Olga; Picasso had lost much of his inspiration andcreativity which were revived after his chance encounter with MarieThérèse in 1927.Is this in fact Olga to the right, statuesque in aspect and seeminglywatching the scene with a detached, estranged gaze? In an earlierversion of the work (see Baer 434), Picasso's re-interpretation ofJacques-Louis David La Mort de Marat, done in July of the same year,was present in the upper left of the plate. This was a piece said tocaricature Olga's – as Charlotte Corday – deathly aggression of MarieThérèse as Marat, which imbued the scene with a tragic aspect.One wonders if the scene here is therefore a hopeful one, in which theMinotaur, guided by the serene Marie-Thérèse, is taken to a brighterplace of comfort and tranquillity. Or is he, blinded by his passion,walking towards more trouble and conflicts? One can only think of thetumultuous years to come afterwards, both in the artist's personal lifeand politically, to attempt a guess.The importance of this work could then be read both in its obsessiverepetition in the artist's creative output of the time, as well as a pivotal,suspended moment in time: uneasy in his deteriorating relationshipwith Olga, expecting a child from Marie-Thérèse, with the SpanishCivil War, Nazism and war growling rampant, all to later explode inPicasso's etching masterpiece La Minotauromachie the following year,and of course in Guernica in 1937This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

That is why I have engraved so many embracing couples'' PABLO PICASSOCreated in November 1934, this work is one of 100 etchings fromPablo Picasso's Suite Vollard produced between 1930 and 1937. Theseries commissioned and consequentially named after one of the mostinfluential dealers of European art, Ambroise Vollard, remains one ofPicasso's most celebrated works.The sombre scene shows a young man gazing at the sleeping formof a woman, her voluptuous figure illuminated by the soft light of acandle. The figure, who is thought to resemble Picasso's lover andmuse at the time, Marie-Thérèse Walter, is unaware of her transfixedmale admirer, deep in thought. The etching presents a complexdepiction of iconography and phycological turmoil; the model asleepwas a common motif at the time of Picasso's relationship with MarieThérèse Walter and would reoccur throughout his later works.The candle that appears in this etching, appears again in one ofPicasso most admired works of art, La Minotauromachie. Held outin front of her by a girl, the intricate piece is full of symbolic contentwhile representing both turmoil and hope. In both works, the candlebecomes a powerful focal point within the composition bringinga sense of hope through the darkness in La Minotauromachiewhilst projecting a feeling of foreboding in Garçon et dormeuse à lachandelle.It was around this time that Marie-Thérèse became pregnant, andsome scholars have suggested that this etching was created aftershe had broken the news to Picasso. It has been said that the youngman lost in thought could represent Picasso himself and his initialcontemplations on hearing that he was to become a father.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973)Jeune Sculpteur au travail, from La Suite Vollard, 1933 signed in penciletching, on Montval laid paper with Vollard watermark44.5 x 34cm (17 1/2 x 13 3/8in).This work is from the edition of 260, printed by Lacourière, published by Ambroise Vollard, ParisFootnotes:LiteratureGeorges Bloch, Catalogue de l'oeuvre gravé et lithographié, Volume I, 1904-1967, Berne, 1968 (Bl.156). Geiser & Baer, Picasso Peintre-graveur, Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre gravé, Volume II, 1932-1934, Berne, 1992 (B.309.B.d).The Suite Vollard is regarded as one of Picassos' greatest printmakingachievements. It was commissioned by, and named in honour of,Ambroise Vollard, one of the most influential art dealers of the late19th and early 20th centuries, who had given the young Picasso hisfirst exhibition in Paris in 1901 and would play a fundamental rolein the artist's career. Their close association meant that no formalcontract was drawn up for the suite. Instead, Vollard agreed to givePicasso two paintings by Renoir and Cézanne in exchange for thecopperplates.The suite is composed of 100 etchings executed between 1930 and1937. Vollard may have been proposing to publish the collection as abook, which would explain the large edition size of 50 on large paperand 260 on small paper. Rather than illustrating one subject, Picassoexplored several themes of particular interest to him: the sculptor'sstudio, the battle of love, Rembrandt, the Minotaur and the blindMinotaur. There were also three portraits of Vollard.The auction contains both signed and unsigned impressions. Theplan was for the whole edition to be signed by Picasso, but this taskwas never completed, due mainly to the untimely death of AmbroiseVollard in a car crash in July 1939. At this point, Picasso had onlysigned a few impressions. The Parisian art dealer, Henri Petiet,purchased the prints and took on the task of publishing the editionand Picasso agreed to sign one complete set of the suite. Petietbegan sending Picasso packages containing 100 or 200 prints at atime for him to sign, paying the artist 100 francs per signature, buteventually Picasso abandoned the practice and it is not recordedexactly how many impressions were signed.The series was a tour de force, exploring the themes of artisticcreativity, ambition, sexuality and obsession through classical andmythological references. The extended period of execution meantthat events in Picasso's personal life and concerns arising from worldevents, such as the rise in fascism and the outbreak of civil war inSpain, were absorbed into the creation of the etchings, so it can beviewed as an autobiographical work, with a historical and politicalresonance.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
