Trinidad

This painting is done by Jean Charlot, and it’s dated 1922.

This is a very early piece for him.

It is when he went back to Mexico City

to paint the murals in Mexico City with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

What an incredible time.

Well, of course, one of Diego Rivera’s good friends was Pablo Picasso.

The title of this painting is Trinidad,

which is one of Pablo Picasso’s middle names.

So this is most likely dedicated to Picasso.

And in fact, the way that it’s done is in a Cubist style.

Look at the lines in the face and how this is done.

It’s an incredible early Jean Charlot painting.

Painted 1922 in Mexico City when painting murals with Diego Rivera.
