The 1934 Drawing and its Correspondences in Picasso's Oeuvre

Minotaur with Javelin, 1934

Minotaur with Javelin, 1934In this drawing, executed just a few months before the recently discovered drawing, there is a similar spear motif placed in an almost identical location, horizontally along the upper edge of the composition.

Spear in the 1934 DrawingIn the 1934 drawing the spear relates to a scene from Wagner's "Parsifal". Picasso's "Minotaur with Javelin" also contains a severed arm motif similar to the one in the drawing.
