| Description |
| 'Le Rêve' or 'The Dream' in French,is a 1932 oil painting by Pablo Picasso, portraying his 24-year-old mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter. It is said to have been painted in one afternoon, on January 24, 1932. It belongs to Picasso's period of distorted depictions, with its oversimplified outlines and contrasted colors resembling early Fauvism. "The erotic content of the painting has been noted repeatedly, with critics pointing out that Picasso painted an erect penis, presumably symbolizing his own, in the upturned face of his model." In 2001, 'Le Rêve' was sold by its private owner to casino magnate Steve Wynn for an undisclosed sum, estimated to be about $60 million. Enjoy!
