The facial features of Picasso's young lover, Marie-Teresa Walter, are recognizable in all his portraits of women in their early 30s – a straight “Greek” nose, a thick, rounded chin, short blond hair. In his 1931 painting “The Red Chair” the chair on which she sits is written in straight lines. Thus Picasso reinforces the impression of the model's soft appearance and calm character and docility.
“Since it is impossible to be satisfied with superficial appearances in the appearance of an object, it had to be decomposed into its component parts, for analysis helps us to understand the subject more deeply and to appreciate its existence more fully,” wrote his friend, the English surrealist painter Roland Penrose, about Picasso's work.

Pablo Picasso devoted his entire life to creativity. All his interests, all his thoughts and dreams were only about painting. Every event in the artist's life, every person from his environment, every woman who gave him her love and even an ordinary chair became a source of inspiration for him.

“Le Rêve” (French – “The Dream”) or “A Dream” or “The Dream” (Russian version) is considered one of Picasso’s famous masterpieces. It is a perfect example of erotic overtones in painting.
In Goethe's study of the psychology of color perception, red represents a group of positive colors that bring joy. Kandinsky, in his studies on color psychology, attributed power, joy, maturity, and energy to red. In the case of Picasso, red symbolizes sexual energy, creative impulse, and destructive passion.

“All people have the same energy potential. The average person wastes it on many little things. I direct it to one thing – my paintings. I sacrifice everything else to them. Including yourself” – Pablo Picasso.
Red was one of the main colors of primitive peoples, which played an important role in their lives. For them, red was primarily the color of blood. Its meaning can be interpreted in different ways – it is the color of birth and also the color of murder. In those days, red was used to scare away evil spirits, amulets, face painting, purification rites, and also for healing. It is known that in 1907 Picasso went to the exhibition of primitive art at the Trocadero Ethnographic Museum, where, as he later admitted, the true meaning of the picture would reveal itself to him. “All idols had the same function. They were weapons. To help people become independent, not to obey the spirits. If we give shape to the spirits, we become independent. Spirits, subconscious, emotions are all one. I understood why I became an artist. The girls of Avignon must have appeared on that very day. It was my first experience of exorcism … “

Picasso's paintings keep many secrets: several canvases are known, the initial content of which is fundamentally different from the final result. Sketches and sketches are hidden under a layer of paint, reveal themselves under X-rays and are hidden behind the picture.

According to one version, the painting “Nude in a Red Chair”, clearly designed to shock the viewer, was written under the influence of the works of Dali and Miro. Other art critics see in the choice of colors and patterns of the wallpaper a kind of mockery of the works of Matisse. Picasso’s surrealist paintings, including Nude in a Red Chair, feature fluid, molten outlines and rather frank depictions of feminine forms. The sharp contrast between red and green and the calm sea outside the window enhances the feeling of tension that fills the room.

Picasso creates an atmosphere of tremors and hysteria, a surreal hallucinatory world that can be explained in part by the influence of the surrealist poets.
Picasso did not consider himself a surrealist movement: he did not want to submit to their favorite Freudian concept of the superiority of the unconscious. It is interesting that in psychology red means leadership, perseverance, dynamism, and also rigidity, intolerance, destruction. Red is more often chosen by strong, ardent, active, gambling, self-confident people. This was Pablo Picasso.

Picasso pays special attention to the transformation of forms into geometric blocks, increasing and breaking volumes, dividing them into planes and edges, continuing in space, which he sees as a solid body, inevitably limited by the plane of the painting.

Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque (pictured above) lived together for almost 20 years until her death, during which time he painted around 400 portraits of her. Many of her portraits were painted in Picasso's well-known style, and Jacqueline with Flowers is one of the most striking works of this period. Most often, the artist depicted his second wife in profile, with huge almond-shaped eyes and an unnaturally long neck.
Pablo Picasso left behind a large number of paintings that are on the list of the most expensive paintings in the world. Picasso's distinctive feature is that he was not satisfied with what can be seen, that is, the outer side of reality. He tried to think with curiosity and deepness about what is hidden beyond the tangible world.
