One of the things that I found interest was when Picasso portraying male clients with the women in the reception room of a brothel on Avignon Street in Barcelona. By the time he finished, he had removed the male figures and simplified the room’s detail. Two ladies on the right do not look like women. I think the painting was controversial for its times because Picasso opened the door to a radically new method of representing form in space. Also a beginning of new representation of the world as a interplay of time and space.
