In 1912 the Picasso fashioned a guitar from cardboard, paper, string, and wire, materials he cut, folded, threaded, and glue. Nothing like it done before and although it wasn’t a working model it was cool rocker chic, long before rockers even existed.
Two years later he banged a guitar sculpture out of sheet metal
Now you can see these guitars at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC from February 13- June 6.
