BKS 140 // Pablo Picasso's Le Cocu Magnifique I (The Magnificent Cuckold I), created in 1968, is an etching on Rives BFK wove paper, measuring 37 x 48 cm. In this work, Picasso explores themes of human relationships, emotional tension, and vulnerability. The scene features a reclining nude figure engaged with a standing male character whose elongated, skeletal form evokes both fascination and detachment. The intense black-and-white contrast and rough texturing emphasize the psychological depth of the scene, with a surreal interplay between the figures suggesting power dynamics and emotional complexity. The title hints at a narrative involving infidelity, highlighting Picasso's interest in intimate human dramas expressed through layered, expressive lines.

What is Cubism?
Artwork by Fernand Léger

What is Cubism?

Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
