Woman with Guitar 1917

"Woman with Guitar" (1917) by Spanish artist María Blanchard is a bold example of Cubism. Blanchard, known for her geometric and abstract style, depicts a figure playing a guitar, but the subject is fragmented into geometric shapes and overlapping planes. The use of strong colors and bold lines contributes to the painting's dynamic and almost sculptural quality, emphasizing the Cubist technique of breaking down forms. Blanchard's work pushed the boundaries of Cubism, offering a distinct and engaging perspective on the human figure.
