Pablo Picasso: La ceinture jaune Pillowcase

This jacquard-weave zippered pillowcase features Pablo Picasso’s La ceinture jaune (Marie-Thérèse) (1932). The curved and abstracted forms represent the artist’s lover and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter, posing in a yellow belt on a chair. From the beginning of her relationship with Picasso in 1927, Walter fueled the artist’s imagination and inspired some of his most groundbreaking paintings and sculptures. Created in collaboration with the Picasso Administration, the fabric was woven on jacquard looms by a team of skilled textile artisans at Jules Pansu’s historic workshop Les Tissages de la Lys in Flanders, France.
