Venus Fauvist-Cubist#89033 50″ X 72″ ac
In this version of the “Venus of Urbino” the nude figure seems to be more like another Matisse than Picasso, as do the quilt and wall paper. But the big window is indisputably Picasso. With two obvious heads and the silhouette of a third, these might be an echo of Susannah and the Elders if these faces were not so benign.
