EXAMPLE FROM 1938

"Two Nudes on the Beach" 1938 (123)

Picasso's "Two Nudes on the Beach" (123) was a parody combining Rembrandt's "Bathsheba" (123A) and Delacroix's "Women of Algiers" (123B). Of particular interest is the cloth in (123A) which has the form of the figure bending over. The right foot of this nude can be found in the area of the sleeve of the woman attending Bathsheba. The left hand was imagined in the shapes behind Bathsheba's left heel. Many other examples exist in both works which demonstrate Picasso's ability to fantasize.
