Pablo Picasso: "Buste de Femme (Jacqueline)" (1963), limited reproduction

According to a not very serious dictum, Picasso changed his partners as often as he changed his painting styles. That wants to be a lot of mean, one of the most diverse artists in art history, styles and directions of a whole century. The fact is: Women fascinated him - also as the subject of his works - throughout his life, and he fascinated women throughout his life. His portraits and his homage to femininity are countless.

"Buste de Femme (Jacqueline)":
When Picasso met her, she was a ceramic seller in Vallauris, where Picasso had created ceramic work since 1946 - and 46 years younger than him. The artist portrays the 36 -year -old as full beauty and uses his emphasis on the eye area one of the oldest "tricks" in art history: The exactly straight -looking Jaqueline pursues the viewer, regardless of the angle in which he stands for the picture.
