Girl Before
a Mirror
Picasso
19" x 24"
Artist's Home
"His
Girl Before a Mirror, painted in 1932, was a striking example of his vast
capacity for forcing any number of conflicting 'things' and means to serve
his ends. Its lozenge-patterned background and thick black lines recall stained
glass. Its involved, curlicue composition relates to Chinese calligraphs.
The girl's head has a playing-card look, yet it seems also to symbolize the
sun as its reflection does the moon. Her violently distorted body appears
to be clothed, nude, and X-rayed, all at one time. She is quietly contemplating
herself, yet the picture is an anything-but-quiet struggle of strident colors."
