PABLO PICASSO

Picasso researchers have frequently pointed out the inspirational force of Eros in his work. Love affairs seem to have been a fundam etal stimulant of his artistic creativity. The Période François presents itself a complex structure of themes and stylistic modes. O n the one hand, a renewed conquest of the world of antique art characterizes the work of Picasso during those years, a sort o antiqu ité revisitée, paying homage to artistic-Dionysian man.
