My Pretty One (Woman with Guitar) 1911

Pablo Picasso's "My Pretty One (Woman with Guitar)" (1911), is a prime example of Cubist art. Picasso's painting disassembles and reassembles a woman playing a guitar, rendering the figure in fragmented, geometric forms. The title, "Ma Jolie", is inscribed at the bottom, hinting at the subject's identity. Cubism challenged traditional representational art, breaking objects down into their basic forms, reflecting the fractured nature of modern life. This masterpiece is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
