본문내용

Much of the existing scholarship produced to date about Picasso’s work centres on his formal innovations and his contribution towards the new sub-genre of cubism. While this is undoubtedly of great import to the history and development of modern art, the fact that he was greatly influenced by earlier movements is often overlooked or misinterpreted. The era in Picasso’s career directly preceding that of cubism known as his ‘African Period’ is well documented, but the ways in which this ‘primitivism’ influenced his style in later artworks is understated. In addition, there is much irony to be found from the idea that Picasso, along with other artists from the same period felt that they were working against hegemonic justifications for imperialism by celebrating the “simple” style of ethnic works of art.
