We have seen a lot of depictions of music lessons in visual art involving women being taught music by men, often in a very idyllic setting. Also, most of the visual works of art we have seen that deal with this have been done in a "realist" fashion. I remembered looking at this painting by Picasso when I was in high school and discussing the grotesqueness and vulgarity of it. Here we see a woman giving a young girl a "music lesson." I think that this is a totally different take on the attitudes we have seen thus far about women in music in general. Comments?
