The 1934 Drawing and its Correspondences in Picasso's Oeuvre Crucifixion Studies of the 1930's In Picasso's 1930's studies of the Crucifixion, there is a mastabatory symbolism around the figure of the crucified Christ. This is also strongly implied in the 1934 drawing where the painter's hand can be seen resting upon the phallic, erect handle of his paintbrush in the central area of the composition. There is also an extraordinary recurrence in the 1934 drawing of a distinctive shape like an animal or demon's eye that appears in two of Picasso's 1932 crucifixion studies. In all three the eye appears as a white ovoid form containing a black, pointed pupil. © Mark Harris 1996, 1997 Related Picassos The Burial of Casagemas (Evocation), 1901 The Embrace, 1901 La Vie, 1903 Phallus and Nude, 1903 The Mackerel, 1903 Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon, 1907 Curtain Design for Parade, 1917 Pantomime Horse Studies for Parade, 1917 - Related Puppetry Imagery Costume Studies for Pulchinella, 1920 The Three Dancers, 1925 The Three Dancers in depth La Statuaire, 1925 The Studio, 1925 Crucifixion, 1930 Crucifixion Studies of the 1930's The Vollard Suite Classical Prints of the 1920's and 1930's The Dream, 1932 Le Meurtre, 1934 and The Death of Marat, 1934 Minotaur with Javelin, 1934 Minotauromachy, 1936 Picasso's illustrations of Paul Eluard's poem, "La Barre d'Appui", 1936 Guernica, 1937 Guernica in depth Picasso's Secret Guernica Night Fishing in Antibes, 1939 Curtain Design for Romain Rolland's Play,"Le 14 Juillet", 1936 Grand air, Les yeux fertiles, 1936 Erotic Compositions of the 1950's and 1960's Peace, 1952 Picasso's Bestiary Next Section: Themes of the 1934 Drawing
