This is a painting by Pablo Picasso. I found it using google images after making certain that Picasso was a modern artist. I believe that this painting is in the style of cubism. In cubism, an object is broken up into different pieces that vary by different viewpoints. Like, the back of a guitar will be pictured on the front of the guitar. Cubism also highlights an overall modern topic of breaking tradition. This painting is obviously very non traditional. Also, cubism was known for highlighting alienation, but I have no idea how that correlates to this painting. This painting can represent two things for me. The first is a guitar and was pretty hard for me to see at first. But, the curve at the base of the painting is the curve of the guitar body. Follow that up and you see the neck and the rest of the guitar. The other interpretation of this painting is a person dancing around. The person is kind of shaped like a stick figure and appears to be dancing around. Overall, it's not very colorful, but it is still interesting to look at.

I thought that it was weird that your blog wouldn't let you copy the image in either. I couldn't put my painting into my blog. I think that I have seen this picture anyway though, and I agree that it is rather difficult to tell what it really is.
