The guitar 1916

Pablo Picasso's "The Guitar" (1916), a prime example of Cubism, depicts a musical instrument with a geometric and fragmented composition. Picasso utilized a limited palette, creating a sense of flatness and simplifying the subject into basic shapes. The use of lines and geometric forms defines the contours of the guitar, transforming it into a series of interlocking planes, a characteristic of Cubist art. The painting is a testament to Picasso's experimentation with form and color, marking a pivotal moment in his career.
