Skira was determined to have his first project illustrated by Picasso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe collaboration followed an initial meeting where a 20-year-old Skira had unsuccessfully proposed a book about Napoleon to Picasso. Years later, after Skira’s mother intervened at Picasso’s house in Juan-les-Pins, the painter agreed to work with him on the condition that Napoleon was not mentioned, suggesting a mythological theme instead. Skira subsequently proposed Ovid's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"378\"\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e, which Picasso accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhile some accounts credit Pierre Matisse with suggesting the text, others state that Picasso recounted a dream to Skira in 1928 about a woman transforming into a fish, prompting Skira to suggest the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"200\"\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e. Picasso originally promised 15 illustrations to match the 15 books of the work, but Skira requested 15 additional half-page etchings to serve as chapter headings. Following a long period of perseverance by the publisher, Picasso began working in September 1930, completing all thirty etchings by the end of October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe project represents a rare instance where Picasso illustrated a text with close attention to the narrative, creating up to six different versions of the same subject to find the ideal representation (S. Goeppert).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eThe resulting etchings possess a distinct homogeneity, characterized by pure contours and a discreet eroticism. The full-page plates illustrate Ovid's text with a fidelity that is rare for Picasso, while the chapter headings- free from textual constraints- these plates consist of independent nude studies and faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eThe book was printed on Picasso's 50th birthday, two weeks before Ambroise Vollard published \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"93\"\u003eLe Chef-d'œuvre inconnu\u003c\/i\u003e. At the end of the volume, Christian Zervos described the work as having an \"almost Doric beauty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eInitial reception among bibliophiles was mixed. The commercial success of the edition was secured when New York gallery owner Marie Harriman purchased half of the entire edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eThis initial collaboration between Skira and Picasso led directly to their partnership on the Surrealist magazine \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"114\"\u003eMinotaure\u003c\/i\u003e, launched in 1933 alongside publisher Tériade.
