- Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was one of the most influential and prolific artists of the 20th century. Born in Spain, he spent most of his career in France and is best known for pioneering Cubism alongside Georges Braque. Picasso's work spanned multiple styles and periods, including his Blue and Rose periods, the development of Cubism, and his later surrealist and neoclassical phases. His innovation in form, perspective, and abstraction made him a key figure in modern art.

Picasso's work is highly prized in the art world, with many of his paintings achieving record-breaking prices at auction. Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) sold for $179 million in 2015, reflecting the lasting appeal and value of his work. His art continues to be revered for its technical brilliance and the range of emotions and subjects it explores.

La Lecture (1932) is a notable piece from Picasso's career, during a period when he was deeply inspired by his muse and lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter. The painting features a soft, curvilinear representation of a woman reading, with bright colors and a playful composition. The distorted but harmonious forms reflect Picasso's evolving exploration of human figures, merging his signature Cubist style with more sensual, personal elements. The use of vibrant tones and bold outlines gives the piece a sense of energy and intimacy, capturing both the subject’s calm and Picasso’s affection for her.

This work exemplifies Picasso’s ability to combine personal emotion with artistic innovation, and La Lecture remains highly valued both for its aesthetic beauty and its place in Picasso's artistic narrative. Pieces from this period are particularly sought after by collectors due to their emotional depth and distinctive style.
