Pablo Picasso & Collage Art
Picasso and Braque first began to make collages, or papiers collés, in 1912. The use of cut papers, and in
particular clippings from newspapers, seemed a natural extension of their
earlier experiments with stenciled lettering. Whereas their earlier Cubist works had involved deconstructing objects into their
component parts and planes, works like this one sought to construct a unified composition from abstracted
fragments of the objects depicted. The newspaper in this work
may have been chosen for its faded colour, since it was already nearly thirty
years old when Picasso used it.
