About the Artwork
Picasso’s Odalisque en pantoufles au chapeau avec des fleurs reinterprets the traditional odalisque with bold humor and an unmistakably modern sensibility. The figure, adorned with slippers, a hat, and flowers, reflects Picasso’s ability to fuse sensuality with playfulness, challenging conventional depictions of beauty and desire. His energetic line work and expressive forms highlight the freedom of his late period, where invention took precedence over idealization.
Created during a time of extraordinary productivity, the work embodies Picasso’s dialogue with art history while asserting his irreverent, avant-garde spirit. The odalisque becomes not just a subject but a vehicle for experimentation, bridging classical themes with contemporary vitality. This print, marked by its wit and audacity, underscores Picasso’s enduring role as a master who continually redefined the boundaries of representation.
