According to MoMa, this landscape was among several Picasso produced in southern Spain in 1909 that were critical to the development of the early Cubist style. Depicting the town of Horta de Sant Joan, The Reservoir, Horta de Ebro is composed of simplified geometric shapes. Picasso used interlocking planes to fuse the background’s rugged topography with the terra-cotta and stucco architecture of the village in the foreground. The composition exemplifies the spatial ambiguity characteristic of Cubism: the steep hillside seems to be seen from below, while the curved shape at the bottom—a cistern—provides a downward view into a reflective pool of water.
