Still Life with Compote and Glass 1914

"Still Life with Compote and Glass" is a 1914 painting by Pablo Picasso. It exemplifies the Cubist movement, which broke from traditional representation and fragmented objects into geometric shapes. Picasso used flat planes and overlapping forms, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The still life features a bowl of fruit, a glass, and other objects on a table, all rendered in a fragmented, abstract style. The painting showcases Picasso's innovative approach to form and composition, characteristic of his Cubist period.
