I need to find an image of it, and I can't even remember the title. Here are the facts:
It shows a painter (presumably Picasso) at an easel painting.
A woman (presumably Picasso's mistress/model) is laying down, holding a flower.
If you look at what the painter is painting, it is a flower, not the model.
If I remember right, it was well into his abstract cubist time, but I still remember the subject being obvious. Any leads would be appreciated.
What is the title of this Picasso painting?
It's not this one, is it?

I doubt it but It's the closest I could find...Good luck!
Reply:Picasso painted 8000 paintings (probably more), and the particular image you mention is not one which is reproduced on the net or in any art book that I know of. He did paint quite a number of artist and model paintings as well as a series of etchings on this subject included in what is known as the Vollard Series (I did look through these too).
Yes, Picasso always depicts himself (sometimes in the form of minotaur) with his model.
Could you go to your library and get hold of a Catalogue Raisonee of Picasso's work (this should show every work (painting/print/ceramics etc that he ever produced). And you will almost certainly find what you are looking for there. This is the best help that I can give.
