Exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" (Avignon I), Palais des Papes, Avignon, 1.5.-30.9.1970.

A vibrant Cubist painting by Pablo Picasso, photographed during his exhibition at the Palais des Papes in Avignon, 1970. Displayed against a rough, textured wall, the vertically oriented canvas is a dense interplay of fragmented figures and geometric shapes. Two prominent, distorted heads dominate the composition, rendered in a bold palette of black, white, red, and yellow. Strong black outlines and flat planes of expressive color define the deconstructed forms. The number "13" is visible on a tag in the bottom right corner.
