The Accordionist
''The Accordionist'' is a 1911 painting by Pablo Picasso. As stated by the title, the painting is meant to portray a man playing an accordion. The division of three-dimensional forms into a two-dimensional plane indicate that the painting is in the style of analytic cubism, which was developed by Picasso and Georges Braque between 1907 and 1914. The onset of cubism is possibly due to Picasso and Braque rebelling against centuries of traditional, realistic art that imitates the natural world.
In earlier stages of analytic cubism, such as Picasso's ''Carafe, Jug and Fruit Bowl'', Picasso begins to break up the subject matter and alter the sense of depth. However, in earlier work there is still a defined sense of the subject's shape and volume. The picture plane is distorted, but not to the same extent as later paintings such as ''The Accordionist'' which verge on complete abstraction. Also differentiating early and late analytical cubism is the use of color. In ''Carafe, Jug and Fruit Bowl'' Picasso uses color to define the table cloth, bowls, and fruit, allowing the viewer to easily discern the subject matter, despite the slight flattening and separation of the picture plane. ''The Accordionist'' on the other hand is almost monochromatic which further camouflages the subject.
== The painting ==
''The Accordionist'' is 51.25 inches tall and 35.25 inches wide, painted in oil on canvas. The composition consists of a multitude of geometric shapes of various sizes and content. The shapes most densely populate the middle of the painting, fanning out in a kind of triangle shape from the top to the bottom of the painting. Since there is no obvious subject, this composition leads the viewer’s eye around the painting in an attempt to decipher the content.
Also focused toward the center of the painting are the dark colors, which aid in drawing the viewer in to explore the painting. Picasso utilized the drab, muted tones in order to place the emphasis on the subject. Picasso’s dull palette also lends itself well to the piecing together of the different perspectives of the same subject.
