    com/PicassoWomen.html I found that their marriage had its ups and downs and they were two different people. This painting is well painted. It gives me a feeling that Olga was present when Picasso painted this portrait. This woman is beautiful and I think that Picasso would paint his wife beautifully. The imperfections in the Olga portrait remind me of Picasso’s first Cubism painting‚ Les Demoiselles d’Avignon because of the shadow in the back ground that

Upon her belly is a devilish looking imp creature that would be considered a "demon" that is plaguing her dreams and turning them into nightmares. Another

    Symmetry makes a place or painting balanced. In the reading‚ I choose to analyze figure 6 which is St. Michael Weighing Souls. In the painting‚ you can tell it has a lot of symmetry present.
