FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Of the 46 Picassos in Albert Barnes's collection, only a few are from the artist's cubist period, including this one. Dr. Barnes much preferred works from the artist's earlier Blue and Rose periods (roughly 1900 to 1906); in fact, in his 1916 article "Cubism: Rest in Peace," Barnes declared cubism a banal, academic style with no future. Eventually, his hostility toward cubism softened just a bit.
