Bust of a woman 1941

This Cubist portrait of a woman, painted in 1941 by Pablo Picasso, features the artist's signature fragmented and geometric style. The subject's face is broken down into distinct planes, highlighting the angularity of the form. The bold colors, particularly the vibrant green and blue, emphasize the abstract qualities of the composition. The woman's elongated nose and the decorative headdress add to the overall sense of stylization, characteristic of Picasso's later works. This oil on canvas painting showcases the artist's exploration of form and color in a way that captures the essence of the sitter, while simultaneously defying traditional representational norms.
