Picasso or Picatso?
Today we share with you the true version of Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece – “Le Chat et Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” – the Cat and the girls of Avignon:
Pablo Picatso, Le Chat et Les Demoiselles d’Avignon
Les Demoiselles d’Avignon showed a radical break from traditional composition and perspective in painting, and We played an important role in this break. We generously made an intervention into the set-up and kindly broke a plate with fruits, giving additional dynamics to the scene.
One of the girls, you can see her right of Us, didn’t appreciate Our help and shouted: “OMG, this cat is just a blockhead!”
“Block head, cube head, great idea!” the artist exclaimed and began to paint. It was the beginning of cubism.
But the art critics of the time didn’t understand innovation and mocked at the artist, calling him “Picatso”
The true painting was hidden for more than a century and now it’s time to reveal the truth!
Just compare it to the commonly known version, from MoMA museum:
Pablo Picasso, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, from MoMA collection
You see that the artist was more than a century ablockhead of his time!
Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
BUY THIS ARTWORK as a CANVAS PRINT or as a POSTER
Well done, so contemporary and fun!!
thank you!
I love this painting. When he first saw it, friend and fellow artist Georges Braque likened the experience of seeing it to ‘swallowing gasoline and spitting fire’. I may be an art history major and a graphic artist, and I’m not entirely sure if that’s good or bad, but that is one of the most badass quotes I’ve ever read. Love the proper fat cat version!
