Facial flowerpot The facial flowerpot design is inspired by cubism. Cubism first appeared in 1908, but was preceded by two years of search and gradual evolution. Picasso's work gives us the opportunity to follow the evolutionary process that led to this first presentation of the new view of painting. It all starts in 1906, when the spanish painter feels that he is no longer satisfied with the perfect balance that characterizes his works of the ''pink'' period. This dissatisfaction leads him to a sharp and violent turn: he ''rediscovers'' the monolithic majesty of barbarian, iberian and celtic sculpture, painting things that occupy almost entire surface of oversimplified human figures.
