Exhibition Pablo Picasso 1970-72 (Avignon II) Palais des Papes, Avignon, 23.5.-23.9.1973.

A large abstract painting by Pablo Picasso stands on a wooden easel within the Palais des Papes in Avignon, part of the 1973 exhibition of his works from 1970-72. The artwork's cubist composition of geometric shapes and bold outlines is dramatically illuminated against the dimly lit interior. This focused lighting creates a stark contrast between the modern piece and the ancient, rough stone walls of the historic palace, which recede into shadow.
