Pablo Picasso,<br />

1881-1973,<br />

Spanish.<br />

Three<br />

Musicians,<br />

1921<br />

Three Musicians is the title of two similar collage and oil paintings by Spanish artist Pablo<br />

Picasso. They were both completed in 1921 in Fontainebleau near Paris, France, and exemplify<br />

the Synthetic Cubist style.<br />

Each painting features a Harlequin, a Pierrot, and a monk, who are generally believed to<br />

represent Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Max Jacob, respectively. Apollinaire and Jacob,<br />

both poets, had been close friends of Picasso during the 1910s. However, Apollinaire died of the<br />

Spanish flu in 1918, while Jacob decided to enter a monastery in 1921<br />
