The neo-cubist portrait of woman painting owes it's "cubism" to this element of fragmentation but differs from Picasso's cubism in that the image has been "flattened", that is, the third dimension has been eliminated, as in Piet Mondrian's cubist period.

Ask students to look in unbreakable mirrors and observe what features are needed in a portrait and discuss how other artists have depicted them. Abstract paintings of people are paintings that are not intended to be photographic representations of the human figure, but in which the human figure can nevertheless be discerned.
