about Personnage et Colombe

Rendered in an assemblage of shapes, Pablo Picasso's depiction of a person with a dove or pigeon covering their face as they hold several pieces of paper covered in writing is just one of many complex works by the artist featuring a deliberate manipulation of perspective, frantic layering, and the inclusion of doves and other birds.
