This pastel is an experimental expressive artwork by Martine Jacobs.
She created a collage from Picasso's Mandolin and then colored it with pastel pencils.

Martine Jacobs uses existing artworks as a basis to create new artworks. In this case, she made a collage from Picasso's Mandolin and then colored it with pastel color pencils. By applying this technique, she gives her own interpretation to the original cubist work and adds new layers of color and texture.

Her working method resembles a dialogue with art history, where she reuses and transforms elements from the past into something contemporary and unique. This process of deconstruction and recomposition aligns well with the core principles of cubism, where forms are broken and rearranged.
