Gondola for Picasso is a crumbled shape, multiplied in many points of view and at the same time it is portayed on different distances: a dramatic interior apparition represented on canvas.
The painter captures harmony of the line and he invents a distorted shape which is the result of his emotion in front of the subject.
The intellectual strictness of Cubismis replaced by livelier style, pervaded with swift instinctive impulses.
