Head of a woman (Marie-Therese Walter) 1937

"Head of a Woman (Marie-Therese Walter)" is a 1937 painting by Pablo Picasso. The Cubist-inspired work is a geometric portrait of Marie-Thérèse Walter, Picasso's muse and lover. The painting is characterized by the use of simple shapes, particularly triangles and circles, to construct the face. This fragmented style reflects the Cubist movement's influence on Picasso's art, with elements of the face reduced to geometric forms. The piece showcases the artistic and emotional connection between Picasso and his muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter, through a distinct and simplified visual representation.
