Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest and most influential artist of the 20th century. In this essay I will be comparing Picasso’s styles of Art with disciplines of Philosophy.

This style of art can be compared with the Metaphysics discipline of philosophy. Which is the discipline of philosophy that involves the nature of reality. It asks what is real? What exist? What it means to say something does or does not exist, and how one can refer to something that does not exist. There are many similarities that can be found between cubism and the metaphysics discipline. The main one being the questions of what is real? And what exists?
