1900 (ca.), Pablo Picasso, The Coiffure -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the special exhibition label: La Coiffure is one of Picasso’s first fully realized representations of a woman bathing and doing her hair. A popular subject in French art, the theme of the woman at her toilette is one Picasso revisited throughout his career. Here, as in The Blue Room (also in this gallery), Picasso clearly defines the intimate space of the bedroom as the place where a woman performs these tasks. Unlike in The Blue Room, however, this model wears a skirt and corset. Picasso did not paint female nude figures until his second visit to Paris in May 1901.
