Abstract

The article explores the influence of African art on Pablo Picasso's work, particularly in the development of Cubism. Picasso's encounter with African sculptures sparked a profound inspiration that led to the creation of iconic works like Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Despite the undeniable impact of African art on Picasso's artistry, the artist later denied being influenced by it, raising questions about cultural appropriation and racism in his attitude towards non-Western art.
