Description:
|
Picasso's African-influenced Period (1907-1909) begins with his painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Picasso painted this composition in a style inspired by Iberian sculpture, but repainted the faces of the two figures on the right after being powerfully impressed by African artifacts he saw in June 1907 in the ethnographic museum at Palais du Trocadéro. Formal ideas developed during this period lead directly into the Cubist period that follows, this period sometimes referred to as Proto-Cubism.
