Subjective Critique

    My first reaction while looking at Picasso’s Head of a Woman is that it looks as if he used multiple perspectives to paint his subject.  Some of the things I dislike about the painting are that her face is not proportional and looks very distorted, and the background of the painting is very plain.  What I disliked the most about this painting is the way he painted her nose as it dominates her face and is the first thing I always notice when I look at it.  What I would do to make the painting more appealing is to have Dora Maar look more naturalistic by making her facial features proportional. I would also like to add some kind of scene or object we can see outside the window to make it more interesting.  I enjoy the color scheme of this piece and will like to keep it the same.
