Before the creation of cubism Picasso painted this image. The five women while being noted as ladies of the night, specifically from the Red Light district in Avignon, have obstructions over two of their faces. It has also been noted that before Picasso began work on this piece he saw an exhibit of African Tribal Artworks that were on tour in France. I think the idea of covering up the faces of society that some might be ashamed of its quite interesting. What are the women looking at? Are you the viewer the caller to these women of the night, how does that make you feel? What do you think Picasso is looking to achieve?
