Pablo Picasso Flutist and Tambourine girl from the Vollard Suite, 1934 is a beautiful rendition of a flutist serenading his lover, gazing lustfully in his direction. The flutist stares directly at us, the onlookers, with cheeks puffed up with air, as if he wants to invite us along this merry event. The curvilinear lines of their hair coil in spring like patterns—you can tell there is so much energy wrapped around this fine detail. Picasso’s use of his lines here flows erratically yet effortlessly. The drapery around each figure’s body grazes the curvatures of their physique. Energy ebbs and flows throughout this etching with a simple and modest pictorial representation of two lovers. With a neoclassical theme running through this entire work, it is clear Picasso admired works reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman statues. Dynamic and sensual in style, this exemplary work would be a fantastic addition to any collector or art appreciator.
