In 1936 the French writer Henri de Montherlant writes a play inspired by the antic drama of Persiphaë. Daughter of Helios and Persée the young Persiphaë get married with Minos the king of Crete but she doesn't appreciate his way of living. The god of the seas Poseidon supports Minos by inspiring a love affair between Persiphaë and a bull. She will have a son with a bull head the Minotaure. The king Minos gives the order to the architect dedale to build a maze for putting inside the Minotaure. This play will be performed for the first time in 1938 at the Pigalle theater under the direction of Serge Ivkine. Henri de Montherlant chooses the famous French painter Henri Matisse for illustrating this play. The painter makes black and white drawings in which he simplifies extremly the forms by using incisive dashes.
