Picasso's Cardboard Guitar
Today, nearly a century on, it’s hard to grasp how disturbing such work was to some at the time. More than just an example of bad-boy high jinks, it was perceived as a slap in the face to beauty, idealism and decorum, proof of European culture on the slide.
People got angry. When the Parisian arts journal Les Soirées de Paris ran a photograph of one of Picasso’s sculptural guitars constructed from paperboard and string, furious letters came in; subscriptions were canceled.
That sculpture is the centerpiece of this MoMA show. Picasso made it in Paris sometime in the fall or winter of 1912. About the size of a real guitar, it now looks achingly fragile and was, of course, never playable. And it embodies many of the aesthetic questions that Cubism raised:
What’s real?
And why is one version of real better than another?
What’s “high,” what’s “low”?
What makes durable worthier than ephemeral?
What makes an object art, and an idea not?
Precisely because it evokes such ideas, the paperboard guitar, along with a later sheet-metal version of it, also in the show, was one of the most influential sculptures of the 20th century. Picasso seems to have valued it highly. He photographed it in 1912 and a few years later disassembled and packed it away. Despite requests, he didn’t exhibit it during his lifetime. He left it to MoMA at his death, in 1973.
