Motherhood 1901

"Motherhood" (1901) by Pablo Picasso depicts a mother and child in a tender embrace. The woman, cloaked in a vibrant blue, kisses her child who holds an apple. The painting's simple yet evocative composition and muted palette, typical of Picasso's Blue Period, evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection, capturing the essence of motherhood and the bond between parent and child. The painting's muted tones and stylized figures demonstrate Picasso's evolving artistic style, moving away from traditional representational art.
