Cubist Self
"Cubist Self,"charcoal on paper
This self portrait is an experiment in Cubism. What cubist portraits did, at least by Picasso and his colleagues of a century and a quarter ago, was cut the face up into views from different angles, then rejoin
them.
In this image you can see two noses, two mouths and mustaches, and only two eyes.
