A parody of Manet's Olympia with Junyer and Picasso 1902

Picasso made this parody of Manet’s Olympia with Junyer and Picasso with crayon, and it’s hilarious. The blue crayon outlining the woman, and the dog, on the bed is really evocative. You can almost feel the pressure he exerted on the page. Then there are the thin, nervous lines describing the two men. The whole image is filled with this contrast in the marks. The marks are the feeling. The color is very simple - it’s just blue and yellow, which gives the piece a dreamlike quality. The bodies are all so strange and distorted, but somehow still human. Picasso is almost showing off, taking something established and making it his own. He references Manet, but the simplicity is pure Matisse. Art is just a conversation, isn't it?
