I am answering some questions about Pablo Picasso's painting The Three Dancers?

Question

First, I am curious what influences Picasso had on the world. I know he was an amazing artist but I am not sure how to answer this question. For his painting The Three Dancers what style was used, what medium was used, and what subject or theme was used. I am taking an Art Class and want to better understand this. Thanks so much for your help.

Answer 1

All the formal details of the picture - medium (what it was painted with, on what - oil on canvas), 
At time picture painted 1925 Picasso had already been working in a cubist style, but this particular painting is known to be the one where he can closest to painting in a surrealist style. 

 There are two types of cubism: analytic - this applies here where the forms are broken down; and synthetic where the figures etc. are built up like in his paintings of the Three Musicians.
