Guitar player 1910

"Guitar Player" (1910) by Pablo Picasso is a quintessential example of Cubism. The painting, composed of geometric shapes and fragmented forms, presents a radical departure from traditional representation. Picasso, a pioneer of the movement, utilizes a limited color palette, primarily browns and ochre, to create a sense of depth and texture. The fragmented guitar and musician, depicted as a series of interlocking planes, challenge the viewer to reconstruct the subject matter, emphasizing the painting's abstract qualities over a realistic portrayal.
