Picasso's Techniques

From 1925 though 1936, Picasso tackled sculpture in Paris. He worked closely with the Spanish sculptor Julio Gonzalez. He worked on models that he planned to make on a large scale. His medium was wire of all thicknesses that were arranged in a combination of arcs, parallel lines, acute and obtuse angles. The wires created an intricate abstract image. But when looked at more closely, geometric shapes and forms could be seen that were uniquely placed in the form of a human figure. These sculptures had a three dimensional aspect. Picasso enjoyed expressing the ambiguity of formal meaning with abstraction in his picture puzzle sculptures.
