Woman by a Window 1956

"Woman by a Window" (1956) by Pablo Picasso is an example of Cubism, a style he helped pioneer in the early 20th century. The painting depicts a woman, fragmented and abstracted, sitting near a window with a view of a landscape. The use of geometric shapes, bold colors, and multiple viewpoints creates a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of Cubism. Picasso's signature style is evident in the angular forms and simplified representation of the human figure, highlighting the artist's fascination with breaking down and reassembling reality.
