Au Lapin Agile

1905
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 823
Pour cette célèbre illustration de la bohème parisienne, Picasso a emprunté aux affiches omniprésentes de Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, son idole de jeunesse. La toile était destinée au cabaret de Montmartre qui y est justement représenté. Sur ce Picasso, seul à avoir été exposé sans interruption de 1905 à 1912 à Paris, l’artiste figure sous les traits d’Arlequin. C’est peut-être le premier de ses alter ego qu’il allait peindre tout au long de sa vie. La femme à sa droite est Germaine (Laure Gargallo) et l’homme derrière eux est Frédéric Gérard, dit le père Frédé, propriétaire du Lapin Agile.
