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

A painting by Pablo Picasso hangs against a rough concrete wall during his 1970 exhibition at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Executed in a style reminiscent of Cubism, the composition features a fragmented figure interacting with a white bird. A stylized head is shown in profile, outlined in thick black lines, while the background is a dynamic arrangement of color blocks—deep blue, magenta, and warm ochre—applied with visible, energetic brushstrokes.
