orange and pink colours, and
many harlequins.

Picasso and Braque
started this new style.
They took objects and
analyzed them in terms
of their shapes.

fragments and pasted them
into compositions,
“collages”.
NEOCLASSICAL STYLE
The minotaur replaced the harlequin. Guernica is his most famous work, it is a
depiction of the German bombing of Guernica, Spain. It describes the brutality
of war.

abstract shape.
