Woman sitting in an armchair 1920

This is Picasso’s painting *Woman sitting in an armchair*, made with oil on canvas. The composition is striking with its sharp angles and fractured forms, creating a sense of tension. Picasso uses color to delineate shapes, disrupting traditional perspective. The subject’s figure is fragmented, challenging our perception of reality. The use of line is particularly interesting, creating a web that both defines and obscures the subject. This work exemplifies Picasso’s exploration of Cubism. Picasso challenges fixed meanings and invites us to engage with the artwork's construction. It’s a deliberate destabilization of established ways of seeing and understanding representation, reflecting a shift towards abstraction and conceptual art.
