Exposition Pablo Picasso 1970-1972. 201 peintures. 23.5.-23.9.1973. Palais des Papes, Avignon. Festival d'Avignon 1973. (Avignon II)

A selection of Pablo Picasso’s late works (1970–1972) hangs against the rough stone walls of the Palais des Papes for a major exhibition during the 1973 Festival d'Avignon. A large, abstract figure in ornate attire is centered above two smaller portraits, while two larger canvases—one of a seated figure in a wide-brimmed hat, the other a cubist nude—are displayed below. In the foreground, a thick, twisted green rope separates the viewer from the art.
