Picasso did not like musical instruments particularly, and nor did he play one. Yet despite this distaste, instruments, and in particular the guitar which became a favourite cipher, are among his most regular subjects. By the beginning of the 20th century the apparently faithful recording Jens of photography made realist painting feel redundant to many artists. Searching for a new methodology Picasso and Georges Braque experimented with a means of translating what they saw into a unique and personal visual language. They combined what became the Cubist movement with a shift away from the usual subjects of traditional Salon paintings such as landscapes and elevated portraiture to simple still life's redolent of daily life. By restricting the eye to a group of objects, Picasso and Braque embarked on a tightly focused dialogue together. These still lifes, with flourishes of words and newsprint and often reusing objects such as: a stringed instrument, a glass, or a spoon, were fresh on Picasso's mind when, he moved beyond the Neoclassicism of the post-war 'rappel a l'ordre' and began to reinvent his Cubist style. As he returned repeatedly to the guitar as a subject, certain elements shift and start to take on a life of their own. This painting gives a glimpse of the next phase of Picasso's ever-changing genius, with the composition presenting an inherent sense of playfulness in their manipulation of the object. This notion was explored increasingly in the mid 1920s and later as the artist began to explore surrealism more intently, and evolved the extraordinary sequence of near metamorphic bathers.
