Lysistrata, 1934

$1,599.00

Lysistrata (1934) is Picasso’s bold, erotic interpretation of Aristophanes’ ancient Greek comedy. Through expressive linework and exaggerated forms, he brings humor and sensuality to the forefront, capturing the play’s themes of sexual power and resistance.

The figures are rendered with playful distortion and charged energy, blending classical references with modern abstraction. This work reflects Picasso’s fascination with mythology, desire, and the human body—infused with both satire and raw emotional force.
