Still life with violin and fruits 1912

"Still Life with Violin and Fruits" is a 1912 collage by Pablo Picasso, and it exemplifies his groundbreaking contributions to Cubism. This work, now housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, demonstrates Picasso’s exploration of fragmentation and multiple perspectives. The composition is composed of newspaper clippings, painted papers, and fabric, all collaged together to create a fragmented image of a violin, fruit, and other objects. This approach to art-making challenged traditional notions of representation, and the fragmented forms and bold use of color make this a striking and influential work.
