Girl with a Mandolin (Fanny Tellier) Analytical-Cubism : the first phase of cubism It reached its first heights in a series of portraits that Picasso painted of a number of his friends in 1910. Girl with a Mandolin begins the series. In these paintings a rigid system and precisely structured figurative language are applied to individual objects, and indeed to three different persons, each of whom are shown in an individual manner without the artist having to make the slightest sacrifice in his method of paining. The image of ther person is constructed in a different way each time, with facets and superimposed planes that certainly do not represent space in the traditional manner, but give strong impression of depth.
