Links to Picasso and Cubism

This is another work by Picasso, with this artwork the message it’s trying to send out to its audience is quite unclear. On first glance it would just appear that the composition is only of randomly placed blocks. However upon closer inspection you can see that the blocks, create three characters all playing separate instruments. Personally I feel this relates heavily to the work of all “joiner photographers”. This is due to the correlation between the two styles,
Both use a series of blocks to create a message
The joiners use picture (with square outlines) stacked upon each other

I believe the deeper meaning of this is that the signifier (the cubism style) correlates with the abstract theory of sound in music; that such meaningless sounds can be warped into beautiful melodies that captivate generations just as seemingly meaningless shapes can be forged into interesting and thought provoking pictures that inspire.
