Pablo Picasso Spanish, active France, 1881–1973
Half-Length Female Nude
autumn 1906
Pablo Picasso's 'Half-Length Female Nude' (late 1930s) is a small but forceful painting in which the sitter's body is compressed into interlocking planes of earthy ochre and grey — a synthesis of late Cubism and the more biomorphic language Picasso turned to during the Spanish Civil War. Oil on canvas, Art Institute of Chicago.
