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 the "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" exhibition at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. The work depicts a deconstructed figure in a patchwork costume of bold primary colors, its composition defined by strong black outlines. A dark, horned hat dominates the stylized face, which features a conspicuous double-pupiled eye, set above a white, frilly ruff. The landmark exhibition was held from May to September 1970.
