Why did Georges Braque paint "Woman With Guitar"?What was his purpose? What does the painting represent?

Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso worked together to
develop the style of Cubism. Cubism was a technique in which objects, such as simple
objects from their studio; a vase, a piece of fruit, a wine bottle or a person, were
viewed from different angles. Then the different angles of the subject were aligned on a
grid using verticals and horizontals. The viewing of different angles of the same
subject all on the same plane of the canvas was a unique and revolutionary idea in
pictorial composition. In order to further break down and simplify objects, color was
muted into neutrals of grey and brown. Picasso and Braque worked together, sharing each
other's ideas, images and techniques; so much so that they actually stopped signing
their canvases. The painting, "Woman With Guitar" is an example of early Synthetic
Cubism. Analytic Cubism is when the subject is analyzed from different angles and put
together in different ways. Space is flattened, color made neutral and lines and details
simplified or removed. In Synthetic Cubism collage elements and textural elements are
introduced. The space is further simplified with less shading and fewer facets. Woman
With Guitar is an example of early Synthetic Cubism. This unique collaboration of
artists, along with the revolutionary ideas of composition and form began the abstract
movement in Western Art, which continued for decades.
