When Picasso painted the first Cubist Paint (Mademoiselles d' Avignon) in that moment he didn't know he was initiating a new movement. What he tried to do was painting an object, from different perspectives at the same time. He would paint a face looking at it at the front, but at the same time he would paint how this same face look from the side and the back.He says once that when he was 8 he knew how to paint like the great masters, but he needed to be 80 to learn how to paint with the innocence of a child.
