Two Women at a Bar, Picasso: Painting the Blue Period, Art Gallery of Ontario, AGO, 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON

            Excerpt from the plaque:

Two Women at a Bar, Barcelona 1902:

The sex workers in Two Women at a Bar turn away from us.  Picasso adds volume and sculptural mass to their backs to make them monumental and intimidating.  The only element that seems to draw the viewer into this picture, visually and psychologically, is the glass of absinthe on the bar between the pair.

A 1902 photograph of Picasso’s studio shows this painting alongside a postcard of Rodin’s The Thinker (2).  The heavy modelling of the back of Rodin’s sculpture likely inspired Two Women at a Bar.
