Picasso showed a single figure from multiple views for added drama.
Explanation:
Cubism is preoccupied with the problem of the "object" that needs to be reconstructed, as opposed to the vagueness and impermanence of the Impressionist surface.
Everything that relies on subjectivity or a particular and firm view must be eliminated in order to arrive at an overall, conceptual, complete variant of form ("If the senses deform, only the spirit forms").
Picasso's statement: "I paint objects as I imagine them, not how I see them," supports this thesis. In Cubism, the influence of African art is also present, and the basis is the cube. The Cubists in the picture show simultaneously (at the same time) what we can really only see in succession (in the sequence of time, consecutively).
Dutch Golden Age painter Judith Leyster often depicts middle-class Dutch people in work and in leisure in her paintings.
