Condition

Executed on a sheet removed from a sketchbook, but retaining the perforated edge and hinged to the mount at the top two corners. There are some old hinges still affixed to the reverse of the sheet. Apart from one small nick on the lower edge towards the right side and a little surface dirt consistent with handling, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration, although the paper has a very slightly more cream tonality in the original.

拍品資料及來源

A highly stylised depiction of a bather or a figure on the beach, this supremely elegant and vibrantly executed ink drawing exemplifies the unparalleled inventiveness of Picasso’s art. It comes from a sketchbook of 59 pages which are amongst the most potent examples of Picasso's Surrealism. In the Carnet Dinard the artist metamorphosed natural and organic elements to create abstract compositions redolent with sensual connotations. This highly important document was inscribed on the cover and on two further pages, which establish that Picasso started using the sketchbook in Dinard and completed it in Paris. The present drawing is dated 27th July 1928, which indicates that it was the first of the many remarkable works he carried out over the summer whilst living at the Villa della Roches with his wife Olga. Picasso also brought his young lover and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter (fig. 3), with him on holiday, and set her up in a pension de jeune filles not far from Dinard, where his wife and lover would be unlikely to accidentally meet.

Discussing the sketchbooks Picasso produced at Dinard, John Richardson wrote: ‘For the first ten days or so in Dinard, Picasso lay low and seemingly did no work. And then on 27th July, he resumed drawing where he had left off in Paris. [Werner] Spies believes that he had torn the last page, dated 8th July, out of the Carnet Paris which he had been using and taken it to Dinard as a starting point for the dramatically contorted bathers he now began to paint. Unlike the femmes-phallus in the Cannes drawings which appear to be made of ‘erectile tissue’, the matière  of the Dinard ones is less highly charged: driftwood, pebbles, and bones that have been smoothed by the sea. “Pebbles are so beautiful”, Picasso told Brassaï’ (J. Richardson, A Life of Picasso. The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932, New York, 2007, p. 357).

In the 1994 Tate exhibition catalogue entry for the present work, Elizabeth Cowling and John Golding stated: ‘The great importance of this remarkable notebook is two-fold. In the first place, there are many drawings directly related to the series of small-scale paintings of schematised bathers playing on the beach which Picasso actually executed in Dinard [fig. 1], or to metal sculptures [fig. 2; …], which he made in  Paris on his return, or in 1929-30 with the help of Julio González. […] In the second place, there are many pages of highly wrought, volumetric drawings of stacked and balanced bone- and stone-like forms, which are like projects for monumental multi-part sculptures – sculptures which Picasso never made, but which reflect his current obsession with inventing new forms and techniques for sculpture’ (E. Cowling & J. Golding, Picasso: Sculptor/Painter (exhibition catalogue), op. cit., p. 265).
