About This Item

Translation by Jean Beaufret. Eight Pythian Ode portfolio, P.A. Benoit Ale, Paris 1960. Complete of four original etchings by Picasso, of which one mounted on the cover wrapper. Loose as issued, complete of chemise and slipcase. One of 44 copies, from a total edition of 56 copies on Arches wove, signed and numbered in pencil by the artist and the publisher. The eight Pythian is the last classic illustrated by Picasso, after Ovid's Metamorphoses and Aristophane's Lysistrata. Pindar ode was presented in 446 BC in the honor of the winner of the wrestling competition at the Pythian game at Delphi. Picasso etchings illustrate three aspects of the athletic contest, described in Pindar's ode: A young athlete about to begin the match, the triumphant athlete radiating beauty and strength, and defeated athlete with folded arms and dark face. The dry point mounted on the cover can be reconfigured into an imaginary portrait of the poet. Ref Cramer 108 Very good conditions.
