Pablo Piasso, The rescue [range game and Rescue], 1932.
The dramatic seaside rescue of Marie-Thérèse is the subject of Le Sauvetage, Picasso's vibrant canvas from November 1932. The scene depicts the acrobatics of beach activity while the languid body of a bather is hoisted from the water. All of the figures bear the unmistakable phenotype of Picasso’s lover Marie-Thérèse as she had come to be defined in his other legendary compositions from earlier in the year. But for this work, created at the height of the artist's obsession with the young woman, Marie-Thérèse is omnipresent - occupying land, sea and air and playing both victim and savior in Picasso's narrative.
