"Minotaur is Wounded" is an oil painting by Pablo Picasso created in 1937. It depicts the mythical creature the Minotaur, lying wounded on the ground, while a group of figures flee in a boat in the background. The painting is known for its distorted and fragmented forms and its emotional intensity, characteristic of Picasso's work during his "Guernica" period. The use of sharp lines and bold colours suggests a sense of pain and suffering, reflecting the anxieties of the Spanish Civil War. This painting is a powerful and haunting depiction of the Minotaur myth, exploring themes of violence, suffering, and escape.
