I visited the New Orleans Museum of Art (for an art paper). I chose to write on Pablo Picasso's: The Dreamer (La Reveuse) 1947. It a painting in oil of a distorted face (uses lots of blues). After researching for 2 hrs. I come to a conclusion that this painting does not exist. Instead "The Dream" (the popular painting of his mistress appears). I wrote down exactly what was written at the museum. Can anyone Help?

Picasso did not name most of his paintings. Other people usually did that.
This painting of the girl leaning back is known under both names.
The one you have seen may be named the same. It is not uncommon.

Sorry, I don't know this image, but I suggest that you either:
email the New Orleans Museum of Art, Victoria Cooke, Curator of European Painting:
vcooke@noma.org
and ask her your query. Or, if you saw the painting in the Femme, femme, femme exhibition, all the paintings in this came from French museums and galleries, so you could look through the french galleries sites and see can you find it there?

good luck, hope you find it.
