Portrait of Dora Maar 1937

This 1937 portrait by Pablo Picasso depicts Dora Maar, his muse and lover, in a stark, fragmented style characteristic of Cubism. The face is rendered in a distorted, multi-faceted way, showcasing the influence of this artistic movement that challenged traditional perspective. The bold colors and contrasting textures, created with oil and pastel, add a sense of intensity and emotional depth, reflecting the complexity of Maar's personality and their tumultuous relationship.
