The abstract color linocut, "Tete de Femme" or "Head of Woman" by Picasso is one I find very interesting. Picasso created this portrait of his second wife in 1962. The colors Picasso chose created good contrast, allowing him to emphasize some of his wife's favorite features including her long black hair and unique eyes. I find this piece to be very interesting especially because at first, it looks as if it is solely a portrait of his wife. Looking at the work from a different perspective, there appears to be two women/girls facing each other from a side profile. Could this be symbolizing Picasso's first and second wife together?
