In May 1933, Picasso starts working with the publisher Georges Macy on illustrations to the modern edition of Lysistrata play by Aristophanes (411 BC). The book is published in 1934. In June, he makes a collage for the cover of Minotaur magazine by Swiss publisher Albert Skira. He spends the summer in Cannes with Olga and Paul. In August, he visits Barcelona, ??and then goes to Paris. In fall, with lawyer’s help, he tries to prevent the publication of memoirs Picasso et ses amis by Fernande Olivier, but can only partially achieve it. The first volume of the directory catalog raisonne graphics by Picasso, created by the Swiss art historian Bernhard Geiser, was published. Works together with printer Roger Lacouriere on engravings for Suite Vollard.

28 June Nikolai from Switzerland wrote: 'The painting is certainly impressive, to say the least. But what has always struck me as curious is that none of Picasso's other works from this period are anywhere near as accomplished as this painting. It is a well known fact that at one time it was a common practice in teaching painting, for the master to repaint areas of the student's work. In the case of this painting, I cannot help but wonder how much of it might have actually been painted by Picasso's father.'
14 June Ricardo Lapin from Switzerland wrote: 'How much perversion to treat a couple as if they were an object (a model, "muse", etc.) and be indifferent to painting their suffering over and over again, for years without doing anything to help her.'
