Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973): Pablo Picasso: Satyrs and Fauns
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Satyr or Faun—half man, half goat, and with a goatish disposition, lustful whenever opportunity presents itself—figures in many of Picasso's works, often as a substitute for the artist himself.

Degas in the Bordello. (Series 156 n. 95) Original etching, 1971 50 numbered impressions signed with the estate signature stamp. Executed 3/25/71 and approved by Picasso before his death, this etching, like the others in this series, was printed posthumously. Forgive us for the repetion, but since we are on the subject, note the brutushness of the male customer in the brothel oblivious to the cooly-observing artist (here, Degas). Image size: 230x310mm. Price: $6500.
