Look at this months painting. It is of a collage of a bull-fight fan sitting at a table. Strings and pegs of a guitar are on one side, bottle, corkscrew and carafe on the other. There are also clues to the identity of the painting by the words on the painting. "Nimes" is a locale in Southern France, the site of a bull fighting arena. "Le Torero" was the name of a bull-fighting publication. Picasso once said, "I paint forms as I think them, not as I see them." The original position of some ojects represent slight realistic details such as the mustache, the mouth, the bow-tie and stiff front of a dress shirt. In the far left bottom cornere you can see a woman's torso dressed in evening clothes. This type of painting was later to be developed into true collage.
