Dance of the Veils 1907

Pablo Picasso's "Dance of the Veils" (1907) is a prime example of his Cubist period. The painting's fragmented, geometric forms and use of multiple perspectives challenge traditional representation of the human figure. The figure is depicted in a dynamic pose, seemingly dancing, with the veils swirling around her. Bold, textured brushstrokes and a limited color palette contribute to the painting's raw energy and dynamism. The work, now housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, is considered a landmark in early 20th-century art.
