| Pablo Picasso, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, 1908 |
Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon completely reinvented and advanced painting as an art form. Les Demoiselles d'Avignon” completely abandons perspective and all previously conceived notions of painting resulting in a work that appears disjointed and chaotic. Picasso moves away from traditional two-dimensional painting and ventures into the world of three dimensions. This form of painting is known as cubism, a genre that attempts to break up, reassemble, and analyze the fundamental qualities of a figure. Furthermore, cubism, as the name suggests, places an emphasis on geometrical shapes and deconstructing the world around us into simpler shapes and forms. Line, contour, color, perspective, lighting, and composition are given up, revolutionizing the way we interact with artwork and perceive the human form.
