Picasso Lessons: The Sixth Woman of Les Demoiselles D'Avignon; 2nd Edition

2007 marked the 100th anniversary of Pablo Picasso's painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the canvas that triggered the invention of Cubism and ignited an artistic revolution: form broke free and abstraction erupted. In this short essay, the architect and painter Jeffrey Hildner revisits Picasso's landmark work, examines its organizing principles and draws out the lessons it holds for painters and designers. This is the second edition.
