Cloth in dust-jacket. 25 x 29cm. 132 pages, 278 reproductions including 82 in colors.Created by Picasso in 1935, the Minotauromachy is by far the most important engraved work of the 20th century; possibly even since Rembrandt. This volume aims to elucidate the iconographic signs of by means of a more precise exp…lanation of the content as well as of the structural values.The main protagonists - a young girl with a candle and a bouquet of flowers, and a huge Minotaur, a mythological creature with a human body and a bull's head - appear frozen in their confrontation. Between them a wounded female bullfighter is flung across a lacerated horse that snarls with teeth bared. Above, two girls with doves, symbols of peace, peer out from a window, while a bearded man appears on a ladder at the left. A tiny sailboat can be glimpsed on the far horizon.The main protagonists - a young girl with a candle and a bouquet of flowers, and a huge Minotaur, a mythological creature with a human body and a bull's head - appear frozen in their confrontation.
