Picasso, Pablo, Corps Perdu, 1950

Corps perdu brings together ten poems about the search for identity. Each poem is illustrated with two burins executed in March 1949, composed of ambiguous, hybrid beings fusing insects, animals, men and plants, in which the world of Wifredo Lam, well known to Picasso, resonates.
