In cubism, the artist analyzes the subject from many different viewpoints and reconstructs it within a geometric framework. The overall effect is to create an image that evokes a sense of the subject. These fragmented images are unified by the use of a subdued and limited palette of colors.
Pablo Picasso
Take Me Out to the BallgameKatie Casey was baseball mad,Had the fever and had it bad.Just to root for the home town crew,Ev'ry souKatie blew.On a Saturday her young beauCalled to see if she'd like to goTo see a show, but Miss Kate said "No,I'll tell you what you can do:"
ChorusTake me out to the ball game,Take me out with the crowd;Just buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,I don't care if I never get back.Let me root, root, root for the home team,If they don't win, it's a shame.For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,At the old ball game.
Katie Casey saw all the games,Knew the players by their first names.Told the umpire he was wrong,All along,Good and strong.When the score was just two to two,Katie Casey knew what to do,Just to cheer up the boys she knew,She made the gang sing this song:
ChorusTake me out to the ball game,Take me out with the crowd;Just buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,I don't care if I never get back.Let me root, root, root for the home team,If they don't win, it's a shame.For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,At the old ball game.
