Minotaure attaquant une amazone (Minotaure Attacking an Amazon), plate 87 from La suite Vollard
A powerful etching from Picasso's celebrated Vollard Suite, this work depicts the savage confrontation between the mythological Minotaur and an Amazon warrior, rendered with Picasso's characteristically bold and fluid line work. The composition crackles with raw energy and violence as the beast overwhelms its female adversary, exploring themes of desire, dominance, and primal force that preoccupied Picasso throughout the 1930s. Printed on fine Montval paper bearing the Picasso watermark, this impression retains its full deckle edges, preserving the work in its most complete and luxurious form.
