Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is one the most radical painting
of the twentieth-century painted by Pablo Picasso. This is a painting
representing five prostitutes at the time a very radical way of expressing it. This
type of cubism is called proto-cubism. Proto-cubism has pictorial dismantling
of forms and figures, combined with subversion of western artistic sources and
influences. When it first appeared it was as if the art world had collapsed. This
large work took Picasso nine months. Picasso created hundreds of sketches and
studies in preparation for the final work. This was a revolutionary work, but
there was so much controversial, even Henri Matisse was angry about this
work.
The painter Derain had this to say after seeing the
painting:
“One day we shall find Pablo has hanged himself behind his
great canvas."
