Seated woman on wooden chair 1941

"Seated Woman on a Wooden Chair" is a 1941 oil painting by Pablo Picasso that showcases his Cubist style. The work depicts a woman seated on a chair, rendered in a fragmented and geometric manner. The figure's features are distorted, with multiple perspectives and overlapping planes, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The painting is characterized by bold colors, particularly the vibrant teal background, and intricate line work that contributes to the Cubist aesthetic. This painting is a prime example of Picasso's masterful ability to deconstruct and reconstruct form, reflecting the artistic movement of the early 20th century. It is currently housed in the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire.
