Female nude sitting in red armchair 1932

"Female Nude Sitting in a Red Armchair" is a 1932 oil painting by Pablo Picasso, one of the most famous and influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso’s signature Cubist style is evident in the fragmented figure and simplified forms, particularly in the face and body. The painting depicts a nude woman seated in a red armchair, her form seemingly dissolving into geometric shapes, creating a sense of abstraction. The contrasting colors of the red armchair, the nude's pale body, and the dark background further emphasize the fragmented composition and the overall sense of depth in the painting. Now located in the Tate Modern in London, the work is an excellent example of Picasso’s exploration of the human form and Cubism.
