Exotic Flowers 1907

"Exotic Flowers" (1907) by Pablo Picasso showcases the artist's early exploration of Cubist principles. The painting, depicting a simple still life of flowers in a patterned vase, demonstrates Picasso's innovative approach to form and perspective. Through simplified shapes and bold outlines, the flowers appear fragmented and abstracted, while the striped vase is rendered with a sense of depth and texture. This work exemplifies Picasso's move away from traditional representation, laying the groundwork for his groundbreaking artistic innovations that would define the 20th century.
