Buffet Henry II and armchair with dog 1959

Pablo Picasso's "Buffet Henry II and armchair with dog," created in 1959, is a prime example of his signature Cubist style. The artwork depicts a stylized buffet with a dog standing in the foreground, the shapes fragmented and reassembled in a geometric manner. While Picasso is best known for his groundbreaking Cubist works, he was also a prolific sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist, and he continued to experiment with various styles and materials throughout his long career. This particular artwork is a testament to his innovative approach to composition and his bold use of color and form.
