Bowl of fruit, violin and bottle (1914)- violin and bottle is characteristic of his synthetic cubism, in which he uses a variety of techniques to allude to the represented objects, such as painted dots, silhouettes, and grains of sand. This painting and mixed media piece exemplifies how picasso Synthesised colour and texture, creating new wholes after mentally dissecting the elements in front of him. Picasso had restricted colour during his analytic cubist phase in order to focus more on the forms and volumes of the objects, and this rationale no doubt informed his predilection for still life during this period. Man with a pipe (1915)- the masterwork is full of gentle humour and a calm demeanour. Picassos return to colour exploration and interest in the development of interior design procedures is signalled by the employment of pointillist-style dots with their stippled look and marble-effect. The use of frieze-like techniques combined with architectural scrolling produces a sensation of mobility that counteracts the tension created by the solid piling up of angular blocks. The curling of smoke from the pipe in the lower right corner of the image is also connoted by these techniques. The half-figurative face, hands, and waistcoat fragment in this picture, but with comedic purpose, reflects the experimental return to naturalism. The artists sense of humour shines through in the jigsaw puzzles of the face, whose bizarre, textured overlays create the nose, mustache and mouth so that a bird-shape appears. Pablo picasso (1881-1973) is universally renowned as one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the twentieth century in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. Before the age of 50, the spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation.
