This painting is one of Picasso's define works and it shows his movement away from traditional european style painting and a move closer to cubism. The painting shows prostitutes from a brothel in spain in a primitive form. This painting lead to lots f anger and disagreement due to the controversial subject manor. Picasso was influenced greatly by african tribal art. This is clearly visible in this painting. The first time this painting was shown was in the year 1916 and it was thought of as an immoral painting at this showing. All in all it is a great painting and it is a masterpiece just like the other four paintings that are shown in my blog.
