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

A painting by Pablo Picasso, presented unframed against the textured stone wall of the Palais des Papes during the "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" exhibition in Avignon. In a cubist style, the work depicts a figure with a mask-like face at left and a second figure in profile at right playing a deconstructed instrument. Centrally, a hand holds large shears above a fractured plane of geometric forms, rendered in a muted palette with loose, expressive brushwork.
