Ubu is a personage —we dare not define him as ficticious— materialized in 1896 by Alfred Jarry as the protagonist of his play Ubu Rex, followed by diverse sequels. This creation is defined by literary critics as an illustration of the grossness of power, of unfounded violence and moral misery. As such, it has been associated with Pablo Picasso's 1937 etching Dream and Lie of Franco in terms of its recreation of the figure of the rebellious General. Nevertheless, Picasso's models reveal that they are continually polysemantic.
