$1,599.00

Figures on Dark Background (1932) captures Picasso’s sensual and emotional exploration during his romantic involvement with Marie-Thérèse Walter. The figures emerge from a deep, shadowy backdrop, their soft, curving forms infused with intimacy and dreamlike mystery.

The composition contrasts luminous bodies against a dark void, emphasizing desire, vulnerability, and the subconscious. With simplified shapes and flowing lines, Picasso blurs the boundary between abstraction and figuration, creating a deeply personal and psychologically charged scene.
