Two women running on the beach, also known as La corsa), is a gouache plywood (32.5x41.1 cm) made in 1922 by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso. It is preserved in the Musée National Picasso of Paris.
In 1924 a copy (10.4 for 11.7 meters) of this painting was painted by producer Serge Diaghilev as the backdrop for the ballet by Darius Milhaud. Train bleu: that copy is now part of the collection of Victoria & amp; Albert Museum in London.
The small painting, now preserved in the Paris Musée Picasso, should be a sketch to be presented to the director.
"The race" depicts two enormous and disembodied women running on the beach; the ballet, in fact, celebrates the cult of sport and nudism.
The two figures, more than intent on a wretched race, seem to be dancing. The to antiquity is again mandatory: the rigid and firm draped of tunics and uncoordinated movements point to the dancing menus of Greek art, and not only; the composition recalls those used for the mythological works of Poussin, kept at the National Gallery in London.
Despite the swollen and disproportionate forms, the two women maintain a sense of sensuality similar to that of the "Big Wet." Links externalize the wikitesto
