Picasso in 1926 made a series of collages using discarded objects and everyday materials, such as tulle, rag, dishcloth, shirt, buttons, etc. In this series of collages, Picasso essentially adopted the Dada idiom of subverting "great" art by incorporating such seemingly insignificant objects and materials into his compositions. Bridging the gap between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, these works are both painting and sculpture, radically modifying the accepted definition of each medium. Collage avec feuille, ficelle et tulle (Guitar) and other works from this series were kept by Picasso for the rest of his life. After his death, many of them ended up in the collection of the Musée Picasso in Paris. They are all an important testament to the artist's creativity, his endless innovation and his constant need to reinvent his own style and subject matter.
