"Etching" 1968 (159)

"Rembrandt Giving Instruction in His Studio" Rembrandt School parody 1968 (160)

As late as 1968, Picasso still liked to parody "Rembrandt Giving Instruction in His Studio" Rembrandt School (160A). Rembrandt looks on from the left while the artist works in Picasso's (159) and (160).

"The Embrace" of November 19, 1969 (161)

One of the works Picasso responded to in creating his series of "The Embrace" was a "Paolo and Francesca" (161A) by William Dyce reproduced in Rosenblum's book on Ingres. Picasso's "The Embrace" (161) of November 19, 1969 borrowed from Dyce's figures and Cranach's “Ill Matched Couple” (161B).

"Etching-Aquatint, Scraper" of February 3-March 5, 6, 1970 (162)

Picasso's "Etching-Aquatint, Scraper" of February 3-March 5, 6, 1970 (162) joined the images of Ingres's "The Apotheosis of Homer" (162A) reproduced in the Ingres book along with "Massacre of the Innocents" by Matteo di Giovanni (162B) and Rembrandt's "Christ Presented to the People (162C)."

EXAMPLE FROM 1972

"Self-Portrait" of June 30, 1972 (163)

One of Picasso's last works, a "Self-Portrait" of June 30, 1972 (163), looks more like a photograph of a man on the cover of the newspaper which reported the story of the bombing of Guernica (163A) than it looks like a photograph of Picasso (163B), suggesting to me that Picasso may have perceived his appointment with death as a personal Guernica. On April 8, 1973 Picasso died.
