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

A vibrant, abstract painting by Pablo Picasso, mounted against a textured stone wall of the Palais des Papes in Avignon. The photograph captures the work during the “Pablo Picasso 1969-1970” exhibition, held from May to September 1970. The cubist-style artwork depicts a distorted figure with a fragmented face, asymmetrical eyes, and a cheek patterned with stripes. Bold geometric shapes and vivid colors, including prominent yellow rectangles and stylized light-green hands, define the dynamic composition. The number "31" is visible in the bottom right corner of the canvas.
