The artwork, titled “Portrait of Suzy Solidor,” was created by artist Francis Picabia in 1933. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a woman with a short blonde bob haircut is depicted in a relatively bare state, with her arms wrapped around her legs. Her face, sporting a subtle yet inviting smile, is turned slightly to her left, directly engaging the viewer with her intense gaze. The background is a dark, solid shade, which significantly contrasts the pale tones of her skin, thus drawing attention to her figure. The name “SUZY” is featured vertically along the right side of the piece, emphasizing the identity of the subject, Suzy Solidor. The artist’s name, “Francis Picabia,” is subtly inscribed in the lower left corner. The artwork exudes an intimate and somewhat mysterious aura, characteristic of expressionist portraits, focusing more on emotional experience rather than physical realism.
