About Women and Bulldog

The artwork entitled “Women and Bulldog” was created by the artist Francis Picabia between 1941 and 1942. Executed in oil on cardboard, this piece belongs to the Kitsch art movement and falls under the genre of genre painting.

The composition of the artwork features two women, one with golden blonde hair and the other with darker hair, both in a state of undress. The central figure, seated and gazing to the side, exudes an expression of contemplation or melancholy. Lying beside the women, a bulldog appears to be resting peacefully. The setting is partially illuminated by natural light from a multi-paned window, which reveals a snow-covered landscape outside. The interior scene, rich in detail, is supplemented by a dark background that highlights the figures and the bulldog in the foreground. The inclusion of flowers in the upper right corner adds a subtle, decorative element. The overall composition strikes a distinctive balance between figure and setting, demonstrating the characteristics typical of the Kitsch movement under Picabia’s unique artistic vision.
