This picture was painted by the artist Picasso in the early 20th century. It is called "The Guitar." Do you see a guitar in the picture? It is an example of a type of art called "cubism."
Are you familiar with cubism? If you find it hard to understand, or appreciate, this may help:
Cubism is a painting of a normal scene but painted so that it is viewed from multiple views while the positions of some of the parts are rotated or moved so that it is odd looking and scrambled. In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form — instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.
