This simple and elegant rendition of an otherwise typical family portrait is anything but. A family of performers, actors, and entertainers are portrayed in this work, yet Picasso chooses to devote an equal amount of emotion and energy with each character, making this piece more equivalent to 4 works of portraiture. They are the perfect, nuclear family with dog in tow, however they also seem to be bogged down within their own, unique and individual worlds. This is a highly expressive, very moving work which any wife, husband, son or daughter could relate to.
