Description
This lot consists of a framed oil painting on canvas, rendered in the abstract style of modern artist Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). A hand-painted inscription at right reads, "Picasso. 4.12.38". This Cubist piece depicts an abstract portrait of a woman with a blue hat, emerald green lips, and piercing red eyes. This elegant and dynamic piece would be a highlight to any modern art collector's gallery. Unframed overall measurements are 22" x 19".
Reverse side of piece features a handwritten inscription at center of canvas, which reads, "Picasso. 4.12.38." Stamps at bottom left corner read "Certification" and "Perls Galleries. 32 East 58th Street., New York 22, N.Y." with attribution given to "Pablo Picasso" and a title of "Woman with blue hat, 4.12.38".
Best known for his ever evolving style, Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) produced a huge body of work which spanned most of the 20th century. He explored many mediums, from oil painting and ceramics to pastel and silkscreen. Picasso led a fascinating, tempestuous life. At the age of seven, Picasso's father began to provide the boy with formal art training. Picasso's career took wing in Barcelona and Paris, where he lived in poverty and was even forced to burn his paintings for heat.
Eventually, Picasso came to dominate the European art world, and would gravitate toward the tropical coasts of the French Riviera. It was here that he lived and worked for many years. The figures in his earliest work were classical and rather academic; later portraiture became increasingly abstract, often with jumbled facial features and inventive colors.
Pablo Picasso was a leader of the early Analytic Cubism school, which took on new form with the Synthetic Cubism movement (also spearheaded by Picasso). Though his personal life was riddled with upheaval and controversy, Picasso the artist was remarkably uninhibited and prolific. He was a free-roaming explorer of art in all its styles and forms.
