DESIRE CAUGHT BY THE TAIL - Lot 229
DESIRE CAUGHT BY THE TAIL Rita Renoir, Ultra Violet, Michèle Lemonnier… in a play written by Pablo Picasso and directed by Jean-Jacques Lebel and Allan Zion, 1967. Photograph, vintage silver gelatin print, stamped and annotated on the back. 20 x 30 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in 1967, documents a performance of *Desire Caught by the Tail*, a play written by Pablo Picasso during World War II and directed in Paris by Jean-Jacques Lebel and Allan Zion. A unique work in the Spanish master’s body of work, this play belongs to the realm of experimental theater, blending poetry, absurd humor, surrealism, and creative freedom. The cast brings together several iconic figures of the artistic and cultural avant-garde of the 1960s, including Rita Renoir, Ultra Violet, and Michèle Lemonnier. This revival took place against the backdrop of the artistic effervescence that characterized Paris during that decade, marked by happenings, performances, and interdisciplinary experiments. This vintage print thus serves as a valuable testament to the convergence of Picasso’s world and the avant-garde movements that helped revitalize the performing arts in the 1960s.
