Sixteen studies were made in preparation for this major work from the Antibes collection. The studies show how the arrangement of the central figures and their features developed. A background exists only in this, the final work. Once again Picasso's uses his life as a subject for a painting. Picasso, Sima, and Gilot have become the faun, the nymph, and the centaur, while the goats represent his two children. Picasso once stated, 'It is strange that in Paris I never draw fauns, centuars or mythological hereos like this. You would think that they only exist here.' |
