Girl with mandolin (Fanny Tellier) 1910

"Girl with Mandolin (Fanny Tellier)" is a 1910 painting by Pablo Picasso, currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. Picasso's innovative use of Cubism, a style characterized by fragmented geometric forms, is evident in this work. The figure of Fanny Tellier, Picasso's muse, is rendered as a series of interlocking planes and angles, emphasizing the abstract nature of form and space. The painting's muted color palette and simplified shapes create a sense of depth and dimensionality, while the subject's obscured facial features add to the overall abstraction. "Girl with Mandolin" is a prime example of Picasso's early exploration of Cubism and its revolutionary impact on 20th-century art.
