Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon)



Artist: Pablo Picasso, 1907
"In any case, only the execution counts. From this point of view, it is correct to say that Cubism has a Spanish origin and that I invented Cubism. We must look for the Spanish influence in Cézanne. Things themselves necessitate it, the influence of El Greco, a Venetian painter, on him. But his structure is Cubist."
--Pablo Picasso
