Algerian women

Picasso started his Les Femmes d'Alger ("Women of Algiers") series inspired by the art of Delacroix, immediately after the death of Henri Matisse, his friend and creative competitor. He kept on working on this specific dedication for two months. The result: more than 100 sketches and 15 oil paintings - versions from "A" to "O", the last of which, version "O", is the culmination and the final result of this whole series.

'The correct title is "Woman with Dice". It is a portrait of Picasso's wife, Jacqueline. There are two variants of this lithograph... one with black background and one with light gray background. The colors of the images are the same, but the backgrounds make startling differences.'

'I am very confused by the painting called The rest. Almost all the reproductions online look completely different. The face is opposite as are the hands. Please advise.'

'There are two Picasso paintings given the name “Reading”. This seems not to be addressed in many resources and I am finding it a significant impediment.'

'Despite being the same subject as many of his other 1962 works, it is certainly a unique, more colourful and vibrant take. Did Picasso make any other drawings of this type using the same mediums?'
