House in a Garden 1908

"House in a Garden" is an oil painting created in 1908 by Pablo Picasso. It depicts a house and a garden, but the shapes are simplified and fragmented, highlighting the influence of Cubism. Picasso, a pioneer of this movement, broke down traditional representation in the painting by employing geometric forms, bold colors, and multiple perspectives, showcasing the artist's exploration of new ways of seeing the world. This artwork is part of the Hermitage Museum collection, showcasing Picasso’s early exploration of Cubism and is a significant example of his transition to this iconic style.
