Deux Femmes Nues Dans un Arbre

This etching from what has been called his 'Ingres period' exemplifies all those qualities, redolent of Classicism, that make this period of Picasso's prodigious printmaking. Although Ingres had a horror of anatomy, he was fascinated by ways in which both sides of the human form could be depicted at one time. This was also a prime objective of Cubism, and of course had been a lively debate between sculptors and painters as far back as the Renaissance.
