“Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” is one of Pablo Picasso’s most famous artworks; it is credited as the beginning of cubism. This oil on canvas painting is almost square at 243.9cm x 233.7cm, and depicts five nude women in still form. “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” is semi-abstract, for the women are unrealistic but still recognisable. The women in this paining are (as many women who pose for art are) prostitutes. This explains the artworks title, which translates to "The Young Women of Avignon”.

Girl Before a Mirror is an amazing painting by Pablo Picasso, of his young mistress Marie Therese Walter. The painting is very involved as it tries to portray a woman facing her image as a pure innocent young lady to a woman that she has become or is becoming. The contrast that Pablo Picasso is trying to depict is not just relevant in the image in the mirror, but also through the color pallet he chose. On the young girls innocent side, the colors seem to be more pure and subtle with one half of her face a pale pink, her hair soft and blonde, and what looks like a white silhouette or halo around her head, and as her image gets closer to her reflection in the mirror, the colors start to become more intense not so simple or innocent. The transformation of the colors from her standing there, to her reflection in the mirror, shows a darker, older, more voluptuous woman.
