Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Attributed to, oil on canvas. This is a Cubist-style portrait by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). The picture breaks down the characters into geometric blocks (the interweaving of triangles, rectangles and curves), breaking away from the single perspective of traditional perspective and reconstructing the characters' images in a multi-dimensional form. The stripes on clothing, geometric patterns, decorative hats, and styling elements with African artistic styles (such as exaggerated facial contours) are Picasso's references to folk art and foreign cultures.

Dimensions: Image size: 27 3/4 inches x 19 3/4 inches. All measured values are approximate. Outer frame size: 31 1/4 inches x 23 1/4 inches. All measured values are approximate.

Note: This technique originated from Picasso's exploration of the "essential structure of objects" - he believed that painting should transcend visual representation and present the "inner structure and multiple dimensions" of the object. For instance, the fragmented blocks of a face not only express the expression of a person but also imply a metaphor for the "complexity of human nature". These symbols not only enhance the decorative quality of the picture but also endow the work with the openness of "transcending cultural boundaries", echoing his attempt to integrate the "global artistic language". This work is like a "dialogue between form and humanity". Picasso used geometric blocks as knives and colors as ink to carve out the complex Outlines of humanity on the canvas, which is a classic footnote in his art of "reaching the core of humanity through avant-garde forms".
