The sculpture 1925

"The Sculpture" is a 1925 painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting a woman seated in a chair, with her hand resting on a plaster sculpture. Picasso, a renowned figure in the Cubist movement, utilized bold geometric shapes and flat planes of color, emphasizing form over realistic detail. This painting exemplifies the influence of Cubism on Picasso's work in this period, where figures are deconstructed and reassembled into simplified, abstract compositions. The work's flatness and use of color create a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the scene and sparking contemplation about the nature of representation.
