Women are covered up and hidden away in many traditional societies in order to deny other men the satisfaction of seeing them, a sort of cuckholding. Portraying them would, on the other hand, be a sort of boasting. I think of Picasso as a rather primitive man, hardly modern, the animal features recalling the cave painters. (Not a primitivist, which is sentimentalizing, like Gauguin, and often confused.) An analogy would be Stravinsky. He was always a good craftsman nevertheless.
