This drawing is an almost
direct swipe from Picasso. I found a version of the classic Greek comedy,
“Lysistrata”, generously illustrated by Pablo.
I have
been a fan of the Spaniard’s non-cubist drawings since the late’70’s and early
80’s, when I was a museum guard at the Norton Simon Museum, in Pasadena,
Calfornia, USA. My favorite galleries where those devoted to Modern Art,
specifically the Blue Four room, and the Picasso room. I have always found his
depiction of men really erotic.
