Variation on Delacroix's "Women of Algiers": I 1955

"Variation on Delacroix's 'Women of Algiers': I" is a 1955 lithograph by Pablo Picasso, part of a series reinterpreting Eugène Delacroix's famous painting of the same name. Picasso's graphic style, with its bold lines and simplified forms, stands in stark contrast to Delacroix's more realistic approach. The print features a group of women, their bodies fragmented and distorted, creating a sense of ambiguity and sensuality. The work showcases Picasso's exploration of Cubism, a style that broke down traditional perspective, with its fragmented shapes and multiple viewpoints.
