Materials

Picasso used found papers, ink, old newspaper clippings and charcoal for the stencilled letters to create an assembled collage.

The title's connection to the artwork

The title describes the objects that were arranged that inspired the collage. These objects included a bottle, a glass, a guitar and a newspaper. The newspaper was the only object that was included in both the object arrangement and the collage artwork. The newspapers' flat quality gave another aspect to the 2-D Cubist style artwork.

Colour, composition and arrangement

The colours used in the collage are very simple, which aligns with the objects he used, which are familiar and simple household objects. Only shapes, patterns, angles, edges and curves of the objects have been featured in the collage to demonstrate the Cubist technique of simplifying a composition of objects. This process occurs by observing multiple angles and recording the shapes of the shadows from direct light. The composition is a map of the parts of the objects that were highlighted in Picasso's perspective and transcribed into his collage. The arrangement of the parts of the objects Picasso wanted to portray was randomised in his final work to demonstrate his movements in understanding the relationship of the objects at different areas of perspective. Picasso made this artwork as it shows anything can be considered art, even if it involves accessible household materials. Picasso's collage demonstrates the quality of simplifying object depictions on paper and recording his movements in understanding different areas of the object arrangement through his unique perspective.
