EXAMPLES FROM 1965

"In the Studio" of March 14, 1965 (141)

For his "In the Studio" (141) Picasso combined Leon Benouville's "Odalisque" (138A) and John Frederich Lewis's "The Harem" (149A).

EXAMPLES FROM 1967

"Boy-Melon- Flute" 1967 (142)

In 1932, Picasso had done a series of drawings after Grunewald's "Isenheim Altarpiece-Crucifixion" (142A). In 1967, Picasso returned to (142A) for his crayon drawing "Boy-Melon- Flute" (142).

The year 1967 marked the centenary of the death of Ingres and Picasso's friend Robert Rosenblum's handsome monograph honoring Ingres was published that year by Harry N. Abrams, Incorporated. Two of Picasso's works were included, so it is very likely that he received a copy since he had a great respect for Ingres and knew the author. I believe that Picasso had seen the monograph prior to publication- perhaps as early as 1964. Benouville's "Odalisque" (136A) was one of the works included in the monograph. Picasso appears to have sequentially done variations on the numerous reproductions in the monograph on Ingres.

"Drawing" 1967 (143)

"Drawing" (143) is one example. Picasso made this drawing from "The Sultana" (139A) by Carl Van Loo. He changed the size of anatomical parts to coincide with the shapes of (139A). A comparison follows: Van Loo's work will be described on the left.
