Reference: Cramer 140, Bloch 1249 - B. 1244-1255; BA. 1432-1443; C. 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.

Artwork by Rene Magritte

What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery.

The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
