*Figure At The Seaside* (1931)- Surrealists were drawn to the praying mantis-like heads of the two figures because the bizarre thought of a female insect consuming her husband after intercourse gave another visual metaphor for the 'life and death' dilemma. Picasso's filthy vagina dentatta teeth imagery, as well as penile tongues, are featured on these skulls. References to modern Surrealist painting, particularly the monster figure paintings of Joan Miro and Salvador Dali, who, like Picasso, were masters of the grotesque, counterbalance the oblique and satirical reference to classicism. ******** PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) is universally renowned as one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the twentieth century; in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists, prior to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did. Throughout the long course of his career, he created more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and other items such as costumes and theater sets.
