Woman with braid 1971

"Woman with Braid" is an oil painting by Pablo Picasso, created in 1971, just two years before his death. The painting is a striking example of Picasso's later style, characterized by bold lines, fragmented forms, and a sense of emotional depth. The subject, a woman with a long braid, is depicted in a distorted and expressive manner, with her face and body contorted and fragmented. The painting's use of contrasting colors, such as black and white, creates a powerful visual effect, emphasizing the subject's complexity and emotional turmoil. This piece is a testament to Picasso's artistic evolution and his enduring ability to capture the human condition in all its complexities.
