"Woman with cockerel"

Pablo Picasso - 130 x 97 cm


famous painting Woman with cockerel of Pablo Picasso
"Woman with Cockerel" is a 1937 oil on canvas painting by the renowned Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso. The painting depicts a woman, possibly a peasant or a farmer's wife, holding a rooster or cockerel in her arms. The woman's face is divided into geometric shapes and colors, characteristic of Picasso's Cubist style. The rooster is also rendered in a similar fashion, with sharp angles and flattened forms. This painting was created during a period of political turmoil in Spain. In 1936, a civil war broke out in the country, with the Republican government fighting against the Nationalist forces led by General Francisco Franco. Picasso was deeply affected by the conflict and his paintings from this period often reflect the violence and suffering of the war. There are a few different interpretations of the symbolism in "Woman with Cockerel." Some suggest that the painting represents the resilience and strength of Spanish women during the war, while others see it as a commentary on the brutality of the conflict itself. Today, "Woman with Cockerel" is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and is considered a significant work in Picasso's oeuvre.
