Artist Picasso (A) Picasso: “Kaswla portrait” Portrait painting " Kaswla portrait ", written by Picasso, 1910, oil painting, 100 x 61.5 centimeters, Chicago, Chicago art center Tibetan.

Picasso 1909-1911 "analytical cubism" period of painting, further showed neglect for objective emersion. his written object-image in this period, whether still life, landscape or character, have been thoroughly decomposed, making the viewer clear about it. Even though each picture have a title, but it is difficult for people to find the relevant headings with object-image. Those decomposed body and background blended mutually, making the whole portrait painting full of in various forms in the form of vertical, the tilt and horizontal lines. there seemed to be only a few monotonous black, white, ash and brown. In fact, what the painter wanted to display was only a structure line and line, form and form, and that emit tension by this kind of structure.

This picture " Kaswla portrait", clearly showed how Picasso put this analysis cubism of painting language use in a specific shaping the figures. Miraculously, just in this extreme abstract transfiguration depict of decomposition image and abandon color, Picasso always refused to give up model reference. In order to paint this portrait painting, he let his old friend Mr Kaswla made a pose with patience, sitting in front of him for 20 times. He took pains and careful decomposition form, thus obtains a picture structure formed by transparent layer overlaps. In the painting color only blue, ochre and grey purple. Colour here only acted a secondary role. Although in the crisscross of block and line, Mr kahn veller’s image contour can also appeared faintly, yet it was difficult to judge its similarities with the real one.

most famous experts Roland peng Ross who did research of Picasso , served as a such comments after seeing the picture,: "each hived off surface led to adjacent parts giving a plane, and constantly moved backward, and constantly produced feeling directly, it reminded people of the surface layer of ripples. Sight swimming in these ripples, here and there, can catch some sign. However, when sight from this point turned to that point, it will constantly feel fun in some surface swimming, because these surface is convincing with its similar appearance. seeing such portrait painting can produce imagination; though this picture was unclear, but seemed to be really existing, and driven by this well-balanced of new reality and harmonious life, it will make own explanation with full joy."
