Head of a woman (Olga Picasso) 1935

Created in 1935, "Head of a Woman (Olga Picasso)" is a Cubist portrait by Pablo Picasso, depicting his former wife Olga Khokhlova. The artwork is known for its geometric abstraction, where the subject's face is broken down into simplified shapes and colors. The simplified forms and bold colors, characteristic of Picasso's Cubist style, create a sense of fragmentation and distortion, yet the overall composition remains remarkably balanced. This work is a testament to Picasso's experimental approach to portraiture, challenging traditional representation and exploring the essence of form.
