Where can I see the Picasso picture (black & white print) of the
Minotaur holding a lantern escorting a girl?  I don't see it on Google
image search.

Are you referring to "Guernica"?

http://www.mala.bc.ca/~lanes/english/hemngway/picasso/guernica.htm

or any of the prints here:

It is not on the page suggested.  It is a touching portrait of the
Minotaur's care for the girl, said to date from the time when Picasso
was courting the very young Marie-Therese Walter and would escort her
back to her parents' home in the evening with a torch.  I am now not
certain it was a print ? could be watercolor or wash drawing, but I
think it is an etching.

Clarification of Question by magno-ga on 23 Sep 2004 22:22 PDT
Given the number of images of the girl with light and sight guiding
the Minotaur, it seems that was the dominant idea for him at that
time, so maybe I am remembering it wrong and confusing it because of
the story about his taking Marie-Therese home.  I haven't seen it for
many years ? whatever picture it is may be in "Picasso's Picassos"
which I also haven't seen for years.  I'll keep trying a little longer
on this.

I've looked reasonably carefully at the comprehensive (but hard to
navigate) "Picasso Project" -   http://www.tamu.edu/mocl/picasso/   -
but cannot see the image you describe. There are many versions of a
girl (Marie Therese?) leading a blind minotaur, and in some versions
it might look at first sight as though those roles were the other way
round. Sorry not to be of more help.
