about Femme Assise a la Robe Bleue

This print by Pablo Picasso highlights the artist's Cubist method of reducing the human form into a series of shapes that overlay one another.

The female figure's body is made up of three loose forms, while her head appears more rigid and rectangular. This compilation of forms is reminiscent of the artist's other Cubist work in which he focuses on the subject itself rather than the minute aesthetic details, refuting the traditional aspects of portrait painting. Estate of Picasso, (Marina Picasso) pencil signature and embossed blindstamp lower right. Ink stamp verso 'Approved by the heirs of Pablo Picasso'.
