What are the works with cubist tendencies?

It's a girl from avignon. The Girl in avignon changed Picasso's artistic track. This epoch-making work is also regarded as Picasso's first step towards cubism, which is not only his personal artistic breakthrough, but also a breakthrough in the history of modern western art, and it marks the birth of cubism.

In the next ten years, The Girl in avignon made French cubist painting develop unprecedentedly, and even spread to other fields. Not only in art, but also in ballet, stage design, literature and music. Avignon's Girl created a new situation of French cubism, which was a cubist work completely divorced from the previous artistic techniques, and Picasso also became the man of the hour of this painting school.

Creation background

The girl in avignon wrote it on 1907. The creative inspiration of "Girls in avignon" comes from Iberian sculptures and African masks. When I visited the Museum of Anthropology in Paris, I was attracted by the art of African aborigines, especially the simple, weird and rough shapes carved by black people. The deformed faces of the girls in the painting are the result of the painter's exploration of Iberian and African black sculptures.

Picasso lived in Barcelona for a long time when he was young, and he was very familiar with Avenon Avenue in Barcelona. Avenon Street was a famous red light district in Europe at that time, and it was frequented by prostitutes and religious figures of all kinds. The painter found inspiration from his memories when he was young, and based on what he saw in the streets of avignon, he created this painting "Girls in avignon".
