Description
Paris. 1912. Taking Objects Apart to Show How They Work.
In 1912, Picasso and Braque were in the middle of what would later be called Analytical Cubism. They were taking everyday objects — bottles, guitars, newspapers, glasses — and painting them from multiple angles simultaneously. The result was not how things looked but how they were known.
The guitar was Picasso's favourite subject. He returned to it hundreds of times over his career. He made sculptures of it from sheet metal and wire. He drew it endlessly. For Picasso, the guitar was the perfect object for Cubism — familiar enough that any viewer could recognise it even when fractured into planes, complex enough to generate infinite variations.
He once said that a painting is a sum of destructions. You made it by taking things apart — and trusting that what remained was more true than what you started with.
