I've never thought of cubism as having multiple viewpoints, but that makes sense! I've always considered it an object made more geometric and block-like without regard for how that would happen. I'd say this is one of the most attractive pieces I've seen by Picasso.

This is an important key to understanding Cubism.

His voice is so soothing!

Picasso's cubist painting with papier colle has been an influence to my work since the time i was at school

Always so interesting, informative, and relaxing. ASMR for the art set!

fantastic analysis, thank you

Hello, I'm a french student, Do you know where the title of Picasso's work "Still Life with a Caned Chair" in french "Nature morte avec chaise cannée" comes from ? - Still life obviously refers to the genre of still life : the genre of figurative painting of everyday objects. Still life is a genre representative of painters of the United Provinces of the North from the Dutch Golden Age to the 17th century; by the Spanish painter Juan Sanchez Cotan or in the 18th century by the French painter Siméon Chardin. Still Life generally aims at a plausible illusion of reality; the painting like a window open to the visible. But here Picasso adopts an anti-illusionist approach by highlighting the flatness and materiality of the painting. - And chair caned to the chair in the painting... whose seat is formed of small strips of rattan canes, cut and braided into a square or diamond formed by the chain, tram and crossing threads. But there is very probably a deeper reading of this title, and I ask for your help because I have an work to complete, and I really don't know what to think about it. I thank you in advance for your help. Best Regards :)

Good evening, Do you know if Picasso used Ripolin for “still life with caned chair”? Please.

I do not know the answer to your question.

Conceptual disassembly, isn't this a form of deconstruction?

In some senses yes. However, while deconstruction, which became something of a buzzword from the late 1970s, certainly looked back to cubism, many years separated these efforts and they are understood is distinct.
