...Picasso's themes, that of artist and model, is omnipresent. In one engraving after another, men representing painters-or voyeurs-stare at shamelessly naked women; occasionally they indulge in intercourse with their ever-compliant models, palette and brushes still in hand.

On the other hand, if "this attempt to help bring about a varying of opinion and the democratic evolution of the country," as one Deputy put it, is allowed to succeed, it could well become the focal point of dissent against Franco's rule...
