Self-Portrait 1906

Pablo Picasso's "Self-Portrait" from 1906 is a striking example of the artist's early exploration of Cubism. This painting depicts Picasso himself, rendered in a fragmented and simplified style. The flat planes of color and the use of geometric shapes break from traditional representational techniques, reflecting the artist's growing interest in abstraction and the deconstruction of form. This work is a crucial testament to Picasso's artistic development and the origins of Cubism, a revolutionary movement that would transform the course of modern art.
