Maya in a Sailor Suit 1938

"Maya in a Sailor Suit" is an oil painting by Pablo Picasso, created in 1938. The artwork depicts Picasso's daughter Maya in a sailor suit, holding a butterfly net and sitting on a log. The painting is known for its bold use of color and its simplified, geometric forms, characteristic of Picasso's Cubist style. The figure is rendered in a fragmented and abstract manner, with exaggerated features and a distorted perspective. The use of vibrant colors and simple lines creates a sense of energy and movement, while the subject matter evokes a sense of innocence and playfulness. This painting exemplifies Picasso's exploration of form and color, showcasing his signature style in the context of a personal subject.
