9 - Sara Coomes - Self portrait

This is Picasso in 1907.  It's simple, sketchy and cubist.  Even though it looks a little haphazard, when I compare it to photos of Picasso I still see his eyes very clearly.  It feels a little like a mask over a face, but I think that is because of his cubist style.  I the simplicity because it provides an interesting contrast to the high contrast lighting, and very detailed portraits of the Renaissance, which we we're looking at earlier in class.
