Landscape

Pablo Picasso · La Rue des Bois or Paris, August or September 1908

This is Landscape, painted at La Rue-des-Bois in the summer after Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Picasso is working through Cézanne here — faceting the landscape into green blocks, testing how far structure can replace description.
