Pablo Picasso created many erotic artworks over the course of his career from 1899 to 1971. Some of his early nude works from this period include Le Divan, Le Viol, and Nu Couché. He also made paintings depicting sexual encounters such as L'Accouplement and Le Couple. Throughout the 1930s and later, Picasso produced several works featuring mythical human-animal hybrids in intimate situations.
