‘Modernism is built on African art – but that’s never really acknowledged’ … The incendiary Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by Picasso. Photograph: Jorge Zapata/EPA

in The Guardian's recent article on Cultural Appropration : “After Matisse showed Picasso African art for the first time,” he says, “it changed the history of modern art.” This is no hyperbole. It immediately led Picasso to repaint Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, the incendiary canvas he was working on in his ramshackle Montmartre studio, giving three of the five naked sex workers in it “African” masks that set them free from all previous western artistic values and rewrote the rule book about what an image can be.
