Les Demoiselles d'Avignon

This Sunday's Mixtape set went a little artier. Like, Cubist artier. I put together a set based abstractly on Picasso's Les Demoislles d'Avignon. It ended up going in cycles - from what the aesthetics of this bizarre brothel might have felt like to a social commentary on prostitution to what may have lead the male viewer of the painting there to how everyone might have felt after the moment in the picture.
