Picasso, Pablo, Faun unveiling a Woman, 1936
The faun, like the minotaur, is a mythological character of whom Picasso gave numerous representations. A slob-man often associated with Bacchic feasts, he is a figure linked to pleasures. Here, Picasso excels in the art of contrasts between whites and blacks, using subtle grays to convey light.
