Si tard le soir...", Editions du Rocher, Monaco,1989, reproduit page 166 Un certificat de Madame Maya Widmaier-Picasso sera remis à l'acquéreur. Lors d'une séance de dessin sur la grande table de l'atelier aux Grands-Augustins, Picasso veut montrer à Geneviève l'importance du trait. Afin d'en faire la démonstration, il prend deux feuilles de papier, et sur chacune il dessine " […] un vase, une sorte de pichet au pied large, au ventre rebondi, et au col d'abord étroit qui s'évasait vers le haut […] II me donna l'une et garda l'autre. Puis il me dit : " Je vais terminer le hibou " Effectivement, dans le col, deux ovales devinrent les yeux, un V barré horizontalement fut le bec. Sur le ventre deux traits noirs épais marquèrent les ailes tandis que quelques taches, sur deux rangées, au centre semblaient, à s'y méprendre, des plumes. Il me tendit son pinceau et l'encre de Chine. " A toi ". Le résultat fut désastreux ". During a drawing session on the large table in the Grands-Augustins studio, Picasso wants to demonstrate the importance of line to Geneviève. For this demonstration, he takes two sheets of paper, and on each one he draws “ […] a vase, a kind of pitcher with a large base and a rounded stomach, the neck first narrow but opening as it rises upwards […]. He gave me one and kept the other. Then he said, ‘I'm going to finish the owl.' And so in the neck two ovals became the eyes, a V with a horizontal bar became the beak. On the stomach, two thick black lines delineated the wings, while a few spots in two rows in the center looked just like feathers. He held out his brush and India ink and said, ‘Your turn'. The result was a disaster.” 60 000 / 80 000 €
