Untitled (Femme)

This vivid composition exemplifies Picasso’s mature exploration of the human face through radical simplification and bold color. Constructed from interlocking planes, the figure oscillates between profile and frontal view, collapsing multiple perspectives into a single, arresting image. Saturated blues frame the composition, while sharply contoured forms in green, black, and red animate the face with both humor and intensity. At once playful and incisive, the work reflects Picasso’s enduring fascination with psychological presence, identity, and the expressive power of line and color.
