Blind Minotaur is guided by girl 1934

This is a drawing by Pablo Picasso, of a Blind Minotaur being guided by a girl. It's all done with these really direct black lines, like he’s just letting the pen do its thing. The lines feel urgent, unpolished, you know? You can see the energy of the moment, especially in the Minotaur's crazy posture. And the girl, she’s so small, but she's leading this beast, guiding him, it’s almost like the monster is her inner child. I’m thinking about Cy Twombly’s scratchy lines, or even some of Philip Guston’s rougher, more immediate drawings. It’s like they’re all having a conversation about the raw, messy side of being human, or inhuman, and how sometimes, the simplest marks can say the most. Art keeps talking, doesn’t it? And sometimes, it just screams.
