Femme accroupie, 8.10.1954.

*Femme accroupie*, a full-length, Cubist-style portrait of a seated figure, photographed on 8 October 1954. The subject’s head combines profile and frontal views, with a face constructed from geometric planes of grey and white. The most striking feature is a voluminous skirt composed of interlocking triangles in shades of magenta, pink, and dark maroon. Simplified legs and feet peek out from under the hem, all set against a background of muted, blocky shapes of colour.
