-Picasso, Still Life with Caning, Spainish in Paris, Cubism, Early Twentieth Century (Pre-WWII)

-the goal of this still life was to challenge the viewers perspective of reality as it relates to still lifes

-constructed from other objects and shapes cut out from paper or other materials to represent parts of a subject, in this painting Picasso included an oil cloth pasted on the canvas after it was imprinted with a pattern of a chair seat, the chair seat pattern looks very realistic yet it is only an illusion of a chair seat

-conflicting with ideas of abstract art and what should be considered real

-includes the letters "jOU" like many other cubist paintings which could either refer to the headline of the daily French newspaper or for the French words for "to play" and"to enjoy"

-framed with a piece of rope
