Focus on this artwork and explore the Significance and legacy.
Jonathan Jones of The Guardian called the work "formidable" and viewed the painting as "an experiment in how brutally you can reduce, simplify, solidify and abstract forms and still produce a picture that is not simply recognisable, but profoundly full of life."Laurent Le Bon, Chairman of the Musée Picasso in Paris, remarked on the importance of this period and location in relation to Picasso's development as an artist. "The artist did not travel much, but here we can see how he revolutionised the way the world is represented through art.[...]This is where the artist found a different way of seeing things."
