Description:
|
|
Between 1912 and 1914, the years that synthetic Cubism developed, Picasso painted numerous portraits. The Head of a Man, which according to Pierre Daix was executed at the end of 1913, combines the influence of the papiers collés with the new turn Cubist language had taken towards formal synthesis. As can be seen, various flattened parts of the person are superimposed with no references to depth, while the varied textures and a few specific recognizable fragments such as the mustache, ear, eyes, hair, bow tie and fur collar give a certain impression of reality.
