part 2


Picasso is at the heart of Cubism. The figures in this piece are represented by the basic shapes and colors that make them up. I think by making some of the faces "ugly" Picasso made the piece much more interesting. So-called flaws or differences in people are what create interest in a work of art. I think the way the women are posed in this painting- very simply- makes it easier to see the more basic shapes which are so important to the cubism movement.
