Femme au perroquet

"Femme au perroquet" is a famous painting by Pablo Picasso created in 1936. It depicts Picasso’s muse, Dora Maar, holding a parrot in her hand. The artwork combines elements of Cubism and Surrealism, presenting her face with fragmented, angular shapes and vibrant colors, emphasizing emotional depth and complexity. The parrot adds a touch of whimsy and symbolism, often interpreted as representing communication or transformation. Overall, the painting captures Dora’s personality and mood, blending portraiture with abstracted forms to explore both her individuality and the artist’s evolving style during that period.
