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

A modernist painting by Pablo Picasso, photographed at the exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" in Avignon's Palais des Papes. In a characteristic cubist style, the reclining nude is deconstructed into bold, biomorphic shapes defined by thick black outlines. The head is shown in a composite view, while limbs are rendered as a complex arrangement of rounded and angular forms. The muted palette of blue, brown, and grey is set against the textured block wall of the exhibition space, which ran from May to September 1970.
