Le Rêve [The Dream]
Oil on canvas • Cubism / Fauvism • 130 x 97 cm • 1932 • Private collection of Steven A. Cohen
Painted by the 50 year old Pablo Picasso, portraying his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter. It is said to have been painted in one afternoon, on January 24, 1932. It belongs to Picasso’s period of distorted depictions, with its oversimplified outlines and contrasted colors resembling early Fauvism.

Wow , beautiful , I think he recognised the art of mosaic or collage?
Yes he did and he also worked with Hjalmar Boyesen on creating mosaics! 😉
That’s interesting.
…I think at the age of 75-76! 😉
Serious!!!!
Yep! 😉
What an interesting painting and to be completed in one afternoon is truly amazing. But I suppose not with a talent like his. I love the vibrant colors. Thanks for sharing, Marina. xoxoxo
Yes… not with a talent like his, indeed! Thank you, my dear Lauren! ❤🤗❤
What a difference in time: one day is short to create a painting, while most photographs are made in a small fraction of a second.
…still, it may take miles of film or clicks before one gets The shot! 😉
You have to love Piccaso. “Le Rêve” is a wonderful painting.
Oh, I couldn’t agree more!
Very interesting. I haven’t seen this one before. In some ways, it seems outside his style … then again, the styles are there but more subtle. Happy Birthday to PP …. and I enjoy Malaga. Yamas!
Such an interesting artist. Beautiful colours.
Such a gorgeous painting the colors are stunning! 🌺🌸🤗
Picasso was my first artist ‘hero’ and I still find his drawing and painting exciting! Thank you, Marina, for this wonderful post, I might just come back to it 💐🙋♂️
