"Família de Saltimbanquis", Picasso, 1905. Aquí teniu una nova versió de "Dona mallorquina". Integrada dintre d'un ampli repertori de personatges. Un ventall de personatges que pot tindre una representació unitària si pensem a ells com una família. Des d'una perspectiva analítica de la imatge podriem dir que "Dona mallorquina", equilibra el pes de la imatge global. Si se us ocorreixen més coses, podeu anotar-las al fòrum. Seria guapo que cadascún-una posara la seua per a fer d'aquests 100 anys un event memorable. Per cert, sabeu dintre de quin mes podriem incloure l'acte central? Seria important la coincidència amb la data de creació&finalització de l'obra?

"In a bare, desolate landscape five people stand: a tall, lean harlequin talking to a massive elderly jester and holding a little girl by the hand; behind them two boys, an adolescent carrying a roll or kit-bag on his shoulders and a child wearing clothes far too big for him, both boys unsmiling, sunken eyed. All these people wear their tired finery, their working clothes, as a matter of course; and these working clothes remove them from all contemporary allusion. Then in the foreground, in the right-hand corner of the picture, on another plane, entirely isolated from the rest, sits a young woman in a Majorcan hat. There is no explanation of the ghostly water-jar that helps to set her so far apart, and none of the other figures: they simply exist there in their timeless world" (cf. O'Brian 1994, 138-139) “[The lady in Mallorquine [OPP.05:05],] transformed, with a face closer to those of the young mothers at the start of the year, and positioned in the right foreground, she gives the canvas its foundation. The nudity of the landscape behind her suggests Spain. The other change is a jolt: the traveler becomes Harlequin, with the tallness Picasso attributed to himself in sketches of La Vie [OPP.03:01]. That he is holding the hand of a little girl resumes the theme of 'paternity'. He stands apart from the others, outside their group. Will he meet them, join them? Or is he separation himself for them for a life of ceaseless wandering?" (cf. Daix 1993, 46)
