[H2]Artist[/H2] [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=pablo+picasso,pablo,picasso&']Pablo Picasso[/A] was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. He is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, known for co-founding the Cubist movement and for his innovative use of color and form ([A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=pablo+picasso,pablo,picasso&']Pablo Picasso[/A]). [H2]Title[/H2] The title of this painting is [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=portrait+of+maya+with+her+doll,portrait,maya,with,doll&']'Portrait of Maya with her Doll'[/A]. It is also known as 'Maya à la poupée'. [H2]Media[/H2] This painting is an oil on canvas. [H2]Style[/H2] The style of this painting is Cubism, a revolutionary art movement that emerged in the early 20th century and was co-founded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism is characterized by its fragmented and abstract depiction of objects, which are often viewed from multiple angles simultaneously ([A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/O/A@D3C62K']Top 5 Famous Cubism Paintings of All Time[/A]). [H2]Date[/H2] This painting was created in 1938. [H2]Location[/H2] The painting is currently housed at the [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=musée+picasso,musée,picasso&']Musée Picasso[/A] in Paris, France ([A href='https://WahooArt.com/@@/A@D3AU3T-']Discover the Masterpieces of Musée Picasso Paris[/A]). [H2]Description[/H2] [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=portrait+of+maya+with+her+doll,portrait,maya,with,doll&']'Portrait of Maya with her Doll'[/A] is a colorful Cubist portrait of Picasso’s daughter, Maya Widmaier-Picasso, as a child clutching a doll. The painting features the simplistic horizontal blocks of brown and white that separate the floor and wall planes, while the cuffs, ruffs and frills of sixteenth-century Spanish master Diego Velazquez return here in Maya's frothy attire ([A href='https://www.pablopicasso.org/maya-with-her-doll.jsp']Maya with her Doll, 1938 by Pablo Picasso[/A]). In this painting, the doll is probably a bizarre signifier for Picasso the father, who as a child was also pictured dressed in such an outfit. In the same way, Picasso was interchangeable with his son Paulo in the harlequin costume in his portrait of 1924. Despite the modernist distortions, this painting of Maya is suggestive of that earlier sentimental picture.
