Artwork Details
Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
Date: 1911
Litho on Arches paper
Style/Period: Analytic Cubism (1910–1912), the most abstract phase of the movement.
Location: The original painting is held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Key Features: The painting fragments objects—including a round tabletop, a stemmed glass, the rum bottle, and a pipe—into geometric planes, presenting them from multiple perspectives simultaneously. It is also one of the first of Picasso's works to incorporate letters, such as "LE" and "TR" visible on the left side, which may refer to the town of Céret where it was painted, or a newspaper title. |
