Femme Assise 1909

"Femme Assise" (1909) by Pablo Picasso is a prime example of Cubism. Picasso, a pioneer of the movement, breaks down the human figure into geometric planes and facets. The painting, characterized by its fragmented form and muted color palette, challenges traditional representational art. The face is particularly abstract, with its features rendered in a simplified, almost geometric style. This work, a testament to Picasso's groundbreaking approach to form and composition, reflects the movement's emphasis on analyzing and reconstructing reality.
