One of my favorite paintings by Picasso, I have always been baffled by the initial reaction to it from fellow artists. Your mention of Appollinaire reminded me of the Mona Lisa incident. Someone should make a movie about it. In any case, the facial features of the woman to the left remind me of indigenous women from South America and how they have been depicted in the paintings of Guayasamin, or Kingman.

I admire this lucid and erudite study of the painting.
