At the onset of World War I, Picasso went to Avignon where he encountered an old friend, the Basque artist Francisco Iturrino, with whom he had shared his first exhibition in 1901. The sheet, while presenting a cubist studies of a guitar player, shares expressive features with Iturrino, adding an element of realism in this abstracted form. The orange-hued instrument at the center of the composition could be read as a painter’s palette, owing to its curvilinear shape. Picasso may have intended this productive ambiguity as a sly reference his friend’s profession.
