In this episode, we talk about Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and why it shocked so many people when it was created. We explore how the painting breaks old ideas of beauty, uses new shapes and angles, and helped inspire the style we call Cubism. Our group also discusses Picasso’s interest in African masks and the cultural question that come with that influence. Join us as we look at why this paining stills feels bold, powerful, and ahead of time.
