Standing nude 1920

This painting, "Standing nude," by Pablo Picasso from 1920, exemplifies the artist's early exploration of Cubism and its influence on figurative representation. The figure is rendered with simplified forms and a flat, almost two-dimensional surface, reminiscent of classical sculpture. Picasso's use of muted colors and subtle shadows further emphasizes the geometric nature of the subject, creating a sense of both volume and abstraction. The work challenges traditional notions of the nude, presenting a simplified and stylized depiction of the human form.
