In mystical terms, with this painting we bid farewell to all the paintings of the past. My first exorcism-painting. Pablo Picasso Cubism ca.
Cubism is a re-creation of objects.
The subject the artist studied were analyzed from different angles and presented abstract geometric references to these various views. An abstract view of reality was produced when the subjects were divided into numerous overlapping and interlocking planes. The style was greatly influenced by African art and Paul Cezanne's use of small squarish brush strokes building up the surface of the painting. Early sketches reveal that Picasso originally intended the scene of five women to be interspersed by two men. One, a sailor, sat amidst the women in the brothel.
