Pablo Picasso Portrait d'une fille (Maya), 1965. This exquisite portrait of Pablo Picasso's first daughter, Maya Picasso, exudes a personal, loving charm that only a father could capture. A playful, childlike nostalgia is forever evoked with this work, which not only captures Maya at age 3, but also captures a time in Picasso's life in which he was deeply inspired by his own family. Set against a bright spring green background, Picasso portrays Maya wearing a red and white checkered pinafore, with her hair in pigtails on either side. The colors in this work are at the forefront of Picasso's intention, as he uses incredibly vibrant color combinations to enhance and divulge Maya's own personal character and innocence. His use of sun yellows, lapis blues, and brilliant reds are a further testament to Picasso's creativity and innovation.
