Lying female nude 1964

Here is a lying female nude made by Pablo Picasso with oil on canvas, though the exact date is unknown. The painting has these brooding blues and yellows, a somewhat muted palette, which I find interesting. And the woman is so broken up! Picasso must have been trying to show us many views at once, from different angles, playing with how we see and understand a body. I imagine him circling the canvas, attacking it from all sides, piecing together this fragmented vision. It's almost like he's building the figure from scratch, inventing new ways to represent her form. It makes me think about how so many painters since Picasso have also taken on the challenge of showing how things move and change. I feel like I am in dialogue with all these artists when I make my own paintings. They inspire me to keep pushing and experimenting with new approaches.
