What is the HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE of this piece?

Each of these pieces of paper remains a discrete representational element within the composition, which as a whole represents a guitar hanging on a wall. The central portion of the guitar's body appears as a negative shape, defined only by the paper elements that surround it. The effect of transparency is all the more remarkable in the collage for having been achieved with opaque and clearly flat shapes. Against the seemingly transparent surface of the hollow and partly overlapping the blue bridge of the guitar, Picasso pasted a white circle representing a sound hole, thereby reenacting the reversal of recessed and projecting forms that had animated the constructed "Guitar". Moreover, ... pictorial signifiers in this collage seem to take on value only because of the relational system within which they are imbedded. The guitar is given conflicting profiles, curved on the left, straight-edged on the right. These formal antinomies are repeated in the small drawing of the glass, again with the curved profile appearing at the left and the straight-edged at the right.

• Cezanne's death casts Postimpressionism as the historical past, with Fauvism as its heir. • In 1905 Matisse and Derain exhibited together at the Salon d'Automne (Fall Salon) and people were shocked by their use of bright, non-naturalistic colors. • One art critic went so far as to call the artists "fauves" and since then, the term Fauvism has been applied to work by Matisse, Derain, and others who used similar techniques. • With this bombshell, he wanted to turn over a page of the Western tradition of painting by means of a cannibalistic attack at the tomographic level. •Fauvism was surrounded by controversy. Some critics associated Fauvism with anarchist ideas, which had become popular in the 1890s due to a political scandal known as the Dreyfus Affair, but Vlaminck was the only Fauvist who actively encouraged anarchism. Critics also accused Matisse and other Fauvists of hedonism. This is partly because Matisse often painted women, many of whom were nude.
