Om verket
In this powerful etching, Picasso depicts a classical sculptor whose swirling, piercing eyes gaze at a seated female sculpture at left. Her striking profile is inspired not only by Picasso's recent sculptures of his model, Marie-Thérèse Walter, but also by an African D'mba mask from the Baga people, in Guinea, which Picasso then had in his personal collection. Picasso suggests a charged confrontation between classical and African sculpture through a dense layer of frenzied etched lines that veil the image and transform it from a depiction of the artist's studio into an evocation of the space of imagination itself.
