Description	"Synthetic Cubism marked a return to bright color. Whereas Analytic Cubism fragmented objects into abstract geometric forms, Synthetic Cubism arranged flat shapes of color to form objects. Picasso's Three Musicians - a clarinetist on the left, a Harlequin playing a guitar in the center, and a monk - is built up from unmodeled shapes of color arranged into tilted planes. In addition, the flat shapes - such as the dog under the table - occupy a more traditional space than those of Analytic Cubism, in which air space is filled with solid geometry. The painted shapes resemble the flat paper pasted to form a collage. Simultaneity of viewpoint is preserved - for example, in the sheet of music. It is held by the monk and turned toward the viewer, who sees both the musician and what he is reading." (Excerpt, p. 892)
