A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The practice first used by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the second decade of the 20th century of fabricating sculptural works marked a new development in sculpture. Picasso's work 'Guitar' (1912; illus.) was made from paper-based materials and incorporated texts derived from newspapers, in addition the artist used pins to enable him to move elements of the work from place to place. The work relates to Picasso's metal sculpture 'Guitar', and is in a sense a type of maquette rather than a finished object. Photographs taken by Picasso in his Paris studio reveal how the artist saw the paper 'Guitar' as related to other works and with variable meanings dependent on their positioning, and the work pioneers a form of artistic instability that remains part of contemporary artistic sensibility.
