Le Marin 1943

"Le Marin" is an oil on canvas painting created by Pablo Picasso in 1943. It depicts a seated figure with a blue and white striped shirt, a distinctive feature of Picasso's style. The figure's face, rendered in a bold, angular style, is partially obscured by the hand, showcasing Picasso's exploration of Cubist principles. The use of contrasting colors, especially the vibrant blues and yellows, adds depth and dynamism to the composition. This work is a prime example of Picasso's mature style, characterized by simplified forms and expressive lines.
