About Portrait of Picasso
"Portrait of Picasso" is a clever tribute by one of the leaders of the Cubist movement in the early 20th century, Juan Gris, to his mentor Picasso (founder of Cubism) with his portrait in the Cubist style. Working primarily in cool hues of blue, gray, and brown, he fractures the sitter's face into a prism of planes and geometric shapes that resolve into the parallel lines in the background. All parts of this picture seem to be in motion. The elements of formal portraiture, such as the legibility of the sitter's features, symmetry of the pose, and high-collared jacket (as opposed to a painter's smock), indicate his respect for the subject.
