YOUNG WOMAN BY PICASSO: HISTORY AND CURIOSITIES OF A PAINTING

Young Woman by Picasso is a Cubist painting from 1909.
It belongs to Pablo Picasso’s most important works and is an example of the painter’s research in the phase of Analytical Cubism.

The painting has participated in international exhibitions and is coming to Italy, for the first time, thanks to an extraordinary exhibition event organised by Fondazione Alda Fendi – Esperimenti, giving me the opportunity to tell you the story about this masterpiece.

Shepard Fairey is probably the most influential artist in the American world because he has never been afraid to expose himself politically and to give voice to thorny social issues such as climate change or wars.
