À propos de l’extravagance dans Le Baiser (1925) de Pablo Picasso

Abstract

This article aims at studying how Picasso's work, Le baiser, painted in 1925, helps in understanding the interpretation and the effect of a notion of the extravagance, in the then modern society, based on our relationship with the world and with the Other. The article examines the confrontation between two eroticisms, male and female, from three points of view: psychoanalytical, artistic and philosophical, following the theories of Sigmund Freud, according to whom, in an erotic relationship, the male assumes an active role while the female, a passive one. On the other hand, the surreal perspective of the twenties is more focused on the irrationality of desire. The theories of Carl Jung, Georges Bataille and Lacan, although different, tend to show how the female helps the male overcoming his anxiety of how to better know the Other and himself in the erotic relationship.
