l'Herbe" (28C) as Penrose reported “Picasso
had once more taken a painting he admired and used it as the starting
point of successive variations. This time he had picked the
"Dejeuner sur l'Herbe" of Manet, a subject which could
easily have taken place in the sunlight and shade of the water
meadows of Vauvenarques. The composition of this landscape with
figures had already been borrowed by Manet from Giorgione's painting
in the Louvre, "LaFete Champetre." But as usual the scene
became increasingly transformed by Picasso's imagination, and except
for the dominant greens, the allusions to the original painting gave
way to playful inventions. Manet's characters lived a new life
improvised for them by Picasso” (Penrose
387).
