Description
Oil
and
pasted
oilcloth
on
canvas
,
surrounded
with
rope
; "
Eager
to
recover
other
aspects
of
reality
-
positive
color
and
texture
, for
instance
-
and
increase
the
legibility
of his
pictures
,
without
resorting
to the
outmoded
conventions
of
older
art
,
Picasso
forfeited
oil
and
brushwork
in
favor
of
real
components
pasted
directly
onto the
support
. This
led
him, in
early
1912
, to
produce
Still
Life
with
Chair
Caning
, and, with
it
, to
invent
collage
(from
the
French
world
coller
,
meaning
'to
glue')
,
one
of the
most
fertile
and
liberating
techniques
ever
conceived
in
modern
art
. Here
Picasso
took
the
logic
of
imitating
the
banal
aspects
of the
physical
environment
one
important
step
further
.
Still
Life
with
Chair
Caning
includes
a
piece
of
oilcloth
printed
in
imitation
of
actual
caning
. To
leave
no
doubt
about
the
coexistence
of
dual
realities
-
the
representation
of the
still
life
and its
evocation
with
real-life
fragments
of
materials
-
the
artist
framed
the
small
oval
canvas
with a
hemp
rope
,
which
paradoxically
imitated
the
scroll-like
shapes
of a
conventional
gilt-wood
picture
frame.
