I chose this artwork by Picasso because it is anything but natural. According to Spalding, Piccaso wanted to paint feelings rather then what things appeared to be. He did this by giving a visual form to his inner feelings rather than painting nature. in order to produce this oil on canvas Picasso travelled the world and according to spalding visited many brothels. Poet Baudelaire described this painting as "... the perfect image of savagery in the midst of civilisation." (p263) Spalding stated that Picasso has "reinvented art" by cutting up the 3 dimensional space that had been the style in europe for thousands of years.
I find this Painting of these 5 nude and unattractive females quite confronting none of them look particularly feminine the shapes are hard and disjointed. in my opinion this painting seems somewhat clumsy and unappealing
