Picasso and Cubism
This section analyses Picasso’s successive approaches to El Greco’s work. His
drawings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries reveal his interest in the artist, an
influence that would become extremely pronounced in works of the Blue Period such
as Evocation. The Burial of Casagemas, which looks to The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, and
The Frugal Meal, which reflects the eloquent gesturalism of the hands in El Greco’s
Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
