“Painting is another way of keeping a Diary” -Pablo Picasso By the early 1930s, Picasso had turned to harmonious colors and sinuous contours that evoke an overall biomorphic sensuality. He painted scenes of women with drooping heads and striking voluptuousness with a renewed sense of optimism and liberty, probably inspired by his affair with a young woman named Marie-Thérèse Walter. In the portrait Donna Seduta from 1938 Picasso uses these expressive qualities of bold colors and gentle curves to portray his model seated in a chair, emphasizing her youth and innocence.
