Pablo Picasso Man's Head with Long Hair, 1968-1969
A whimsical portrait with bold contrasts, this work appeals to our response to texture, depth, and space. There is a wonderful interplay between lines, as they cross and curve to create a masculine face with pointed eyes and long nose. As the title notes, long hair cascades around this man's face with a distinguishing goatee, contributing an element of theatrics to this intriguing piece.
