Guitar and Bottle of Bass // Pablo Picasso // 1913

In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.

This particular canvas print is of a piece by Pablo Picasso. Perhaps one of the most well-known artists of all time, and certainly the 20th century, Picasso, (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. He is famous for his signature style, as co-founder of both the Cubist movement and the Collage, creating some of the most recognizable modern works. Picasso's work is often categorized into periods. The most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919).
