Femme assise, robe bleue 1939

"Femme assise, robe bleue" (Woman Seated, Blue Dress) is a 1939 painting by Pablo Picasso, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement. The painting depicts a woman seated in a chair, her figure distorted and fragmented in a characteristic Cubist style. The woman wears a striking blue dress, her features simplified and rendered in bold colors, showcasing Picasso's signature use of geometric forms and bold lines. The painting's background features a simple, patterned design, further highlighting the figure's flat, geometric representation. This work exemplifies Picasso's exploration of form and space, capturing the essence of the human figure while defying traditional artistic conventions.
