In collaborative projects that Picasso and Éluard produced in the 1940s and 1950s— particularly the 1948 book Picasso à Antibes and the 1951 book Le Visage de la Paix— they constructed images of one another and especially of Picasso that incorporate the stereotypically masculine quality of commanding leadership and appropriate the stereotypically feminine quality of supportive nurturing. This article argues that these representations usurp aspects of the feminine to figure Picasso and Éluard as peace heroes for a community of men in which women appear largely as vehicles for men’s endeavors.
