Art exhibit reveals Picasso's erotic side
As he grew up, studying at art schools in Barcelona and Madrid, Picasso discovered night life and prostitutes, who would later serve as his inspiration for the watershed "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" ("The Young Ladies of Avignon") in 1907.
The Associated Press
The first drawing dates from 1894, when Picasso was 13 years old. In the margins of a book, the teenager drew two donkeys coupling. Still, other images are violent. His 1904 pen sketch of a woman being strangled is downright grisly.
PARIS — From playful ink sketches of prostitutes wearing nothing but gaudy stockings to a small, muted watercolor evoking an infinitely gentle embrace, the works in a new Paris exhibit on Picasso are a first-ever compilation of the artist's erotic masterpieces.
"Art is not chaste." Picasso once said. "Or if it is, it is not art." Despite the artist's bent for frankness, many of his earthier sketches, notebooks and paintings have long been hidden in drawers or behind curtains — until now.

Picasso Erotique, showing in the Jeu de Paume gallery in the Tulierles gardens, will run through May 20. The show reaches into the artist's prolific sexual imagination and traces a line from his adolescent initiations with prostitutes through his famous romances to his final meditations on love and aging.
"This is supposed to be the most famous artist of his century," said Jean Jacques-Lebel, who knew Picasso and was instrumental in mounting the exhibit said. "Everybody's so jaded, and they think they've seen everything, but we're proving that it's not the case."
More than half the 300 or so works in the collection have been kept from public viewing until now—including a 1903 oil painting owned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which has never dared display the scene depicting a very young Picasso in a bordello.
Many of Picasso's sketches and paintings were hidden out of fear of tainting his marketability — especially in America, home to most of the artist's fans, Lebel said. Collectors on the other side of the Atlantic were unwilling to accept scenes depicting explicit sexual acts, which Picasso drew repeatedly.
The exhibit moves in chronological order, stretching from Picasso's adolescence to his death in 1973.
