The Remains of Minotaur in a harlequin costume 1936

"The Remains of Minotaur in a harlequin costume" is a monumental watercolor painting by Pablo Picasso created in 1936. The artwork depicts the mythical Minotaur, a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man, in a harlequin costume, kneeling and holding a figure in his arms. This artwork, on display at the Espace d'Art Moderne et Contemporain in Toulouse, France, is a powerful and disturbing image that reflects Picasso's exploration of the human condition and the destructive forces of war. The fragmented figures and distorted forms are characteristic of Picasso's Cubist style, which emphasizes the multiple perspectives and fragmented nature of reality. The painting also reflects Picasso's interest in the human figure and the use of symbolism to convey complex ideas.
