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

A Cubist-style painting by Pablo Picasso hangs against a wall of gray rectangular blocks during the 1970 exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-1970" at the Palais des Papes in Avignon. The artwork depicts a reclining, fragmented figure in a predominantly monochromatic palette. Rendered with bold black outlines and geometric planes, the stylized nude is characterized by a distorted face with wide-open eyes, contorted limbs, and a background of horizontal stripes.
