Homme Nu Avec Femme Ivre et Jeune Flutist, or Naked Man with Drunk Wife and Young Flautist, is complete with dynamic positioning, and creative imagery. Evident in this work is Picasso’s nod to neoclassicism, influenced by his earlier trips to art centers in Italy including Rome, Florence, Naples and Pompeii. The etching is autobiographical in nature as well. The flautist was Picasso's alter ego in the 1930s and part of a broader exploration of Classicism that persisted in his work for many years. No-one familiar with Picasso’s work can fail to recognize this alter ego - the two flutes resemble the P of the artist’s signature - two lines at an angle with a roundish shape on top. Thus, the two pipes spell PP for Pablo Picasso.
Created by the artist in 1955 and completed in 1961, this wonderful etching was published by Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris, France and is signed ‘Picasso’ in the plate lower right.
The work is framed to museum-grade, conservation standards, presented in a complimentary moulding and finished with silk-wrapped mats and optical grade Plexiglass.
