Inspired by old Spanish sculptures and African masks, Picasso decided to break the boundaries of conventional paintings and opened the door to abstract art, through the style of cubism.
His surroundings were shocked by him painting fractured paintings resembling the look of an object that is obscured because you look at it through shattered glass.
Picasso didn't simply want to plainly paint the motive from one side, but rather capture the essence and feel of the motive by paining it from all sides at once, creating "paintings like a perfume".
