Among the concluding works in the Suite is a sequence depicting a blind Minotaur: “...the chastened Minotaur, old, pathetic and blind, is led by a young girl with the features of Marie-Thérèse, who, in the first plate, holds a bunch of flowers, while in the other three she clutches a fluttering white dove of peace. The figure of the Blind Minotaur was Picasso’s invention; it is an image that goes beyond the artist’s personal nightmare to evoke the wider political darkness threatening to engulf Europe with the rise of Fascism in Germany and Italy" (quoted in Picasso Prints - The Vollard Suite, Stephen Coppell, The British Museum Press, London, 2012, pp. 35).
